Are you a first-time homebuyer in Anaheim, California? An FHA loan might be your best path to owning a home. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans are designed to help buyers with low-to-moderate income and lower credit scores.

At The Lending Mamba, we make the process smooth, simple, and stress-free. Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting an FHA loan in Anaheim.

Step 1: Check If You Qualify
Before applying, make sure you meet the basic FHA loan requirements:

Credit Score: Minimum 580 (for 3.5% down payment)

Down Payment: As low as 3.5%

Steady Income: Proven with pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements

Primary Residence: You must live in the home you’re buying

Debt-to-Income Ratio: Generally below 43%

 Tip: Even with past credit challenges, you may still qualify!

 Step 2: Get pre-approved
Getting pre-approved gives you a clear idea of your budget and shows sellers you’re serious.

At The Lending Mamba, we offer fast and simple pre-approvals. Just provide:

Income documents (W-2s, pay stubs)

Credit information

Bank statements

ID and Social Security number

Step 3: Start House Hunting in Anaheim
With your pre-approval in hand, you can now explore homes that qualify under FHA guidelines.

 Anaheim has many FHA-approved properties, from starter homes to condos.
 We can connect you with local real estate agents who understand FHA-friendly homes.

 Step 4: Make an Offer and Get Accepted
Once you find your dream home, work with your agent to:

Make a strong offer

Include an FHA loan clause

Negotiate repairs (FHA requires the home to meet minimum standards)

 Step 5: Home Appraisal & Inspection
The FHA requires a special appraisal to ensure the home is safe and livable.

 If the property needs repairs to meet FHA standards, sellers may be asked to fix them.

 You should also get a home inspection (optional but highly recommended).

Step 6: Final Loan Approval
Once the appraisal is approved and underwriting is done, you’ll receive a clear to close.

At this point, you’ll:

Sign final loan documents

Review terms and monthly payments
