What Is an FHA Mortgage?
An FHA mortgage is a mortgage loan that is backed by the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA provides security for these mortgages but does not directly lend money to homebuyers. Instead, the FHA guarantees FHA-backed mortgages offered by private lenders, credit unions, or banks.
Since the mortgages are backed by the federal government, it helps to reduce the risk lenders would otherwise face in the event of default. This means that lenders are more likely to approve mortgage applications for people who have lower credit scores or less money available for a downpayment than they might require for conventional mortgages.
FHA Loans vs. Conventional Mortgages in Utah
Conventional mortgages are loans offered by banks, private mortgage companies, and credit unions. They are not backed by the federal government and have more stringent credit and downpayment requirements. Because of this, it can be harder for some people to get approved for conventional mortgages.
Credit Requirements
To be approved for a conventional mortgage, you must have a minimum credit score of at least 620. However, many lenders have stricter credit requirements before they will approve people for conventional mortgages and might require scores of 680 or above.
The Federal Housing Administration’s minimum credit score requirement is at least 580 if you plan to make a down payment of 3.5%. If you have a credit score as low as 500, you might be approved for an FHA loan as long as you can make a down payment of 10% or more.
However, many lenders will require a minimum score of at least 580 to approve a prospective buyer for an FHA loan. If you would like to check your credit score, or think you want to improve your credit score in order to qualify for a mortgage, contact us about our credit repair program.
Down Payment Requirements
You can get an FHA loan with a down payment of as little as 3.5% of your mortgage amount.
The required down payment for a conventional mortgage ranges from 3% to 20%, depending on your lender.
Mortgage Insurance Requirements
Another difference between FHA loans vs. conventional mortgages is the mortgage insurance requirement. If you get a conventional loan and make a 20% down payment, you won’t be required to carryprivate mortgage insurance (PMI).
If you make a down payment of less than 20% on a conventional mortgage, you can cancel your PMI once you have 20% equity in your home. Your lender is required to automatically end your PMI once you have a loan-to-value ratio of 78% if you don’t cancel it at the time it reaches 80%.
For an FHA loan, you will be required to carry monthlyFHA mortgage insurance regardless of the size of your down payment. If your down payment is less than 10% of your loan balance, you will have to carry it for the life of your loan.
If it is 10% or more, you will still need to carry FHA mortgage insurance for 11 years as explained below.
How Does a Utah FHA Loan Work?
The Federal Housing Administration does not fund the mortgages it backs. Instead, it guarantees FHA loans in case of borrower default. If a borrower defaults, the FHA will pay the lender the remaining balance of the mortgage loan.
Borrowers must carry FHA mortgage insurance as a requirement for obtaining an FHA loan.
Because of the FHA’s guarantee and the insurance requirement, lenders are more willing to extend mortgage loans to borrowers with less-than-perfect credit and lower down payments than they might for conventional loans.
Here’s a closer look at how FHA mortgage loans in Utah work.
Two Types of FHA Insurance
Borrowers have to pay two types of FHA insurance to get an FHA mortgage loan. The first is an upfront insurance premium that must either be paid upfront or rolled into the principal balance. The second type is an annual premium that is divided into monthly amounts and included as a part of your regular mortgage payments.
1. Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium
The upfront mortgage insurance you will have to pay to get an FHA loan is 1.75% of your total loan balance. This is collected at closing, or added to your loan amount.
For example, if you take out a mortgage for $400,000, your upfront insurance cost will be $7,000.
While you can pay this amount upfront, most people instead choose to roll it into their principal balance. Doing so is not counted towards your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and won’t affect your required downpayment.
2. Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium
Your annual mortgage insurance premium depends on your loan’s term and the loan-to-value ratio. If your LTV is greater than 90%, you will be required to carry FHA mortgage insurance during the entire term of your loan.
For example, if you make a down payment of 5%, you will need to carry FHA mortgage insurance until you refinance to a different type of loan, pay your mortgage in full or sell your home.
If you instead make a down payment of 10% or more, you will be required to carry FHA mortgage insurance for 11 years.
How to Qualify for an FHA Loan in Utah
To qualify for an FHA loan in Utah, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:
Note: If you are unsure if you or the property meet these requirements, please contact us, and we can help you figure it out.
Before and During Loan Process:
Have a minimum credit score of 500 or 580, depending on your lender and down payment size
Intend to purchase a home that you will occupy (FHA mortgages are for primary, owner-occupied homes only)
Must make a down payment of at least 3.5% (or 10% if your credit score is lower than 580)
Must have a verifiable and steady income source
During the Loan Process:
Have the home appraised by an FHA-approved appraiser
Must get an inspection
Property must meet the FHA’s minimum standards as reported by an inspector
After Closing:
Will occupy the home no later than 60 days after closing
Your Credit and FHA Loans in Utah
It’s important to understand your credit and how it might impact your eligibility for an FHA loan.
One of the major factors that lenders consider is your credit score and credit history to determine your creditworthiness. This means the level of risk that you might default on your payments.
There are three major credit reporting bureaus in the U.S. that gather and report credit history information, includingTransUnion,Equifax, andExperian. While each of these three agencies has a proprietary credit scoring model, most lenders rely on scores reported byFICO, which was formerly known as the Fair Isaacs Corporation.
The higher your credit score, the likelier you are to be approved for any type of mortgage. People with excellent credit also typically enjoy the lowest rates of interest since they are deemed to pose little risk of default.
What appears in your credit history is also important, but it is easier to get an FHA loan than a conventional loan if you have certain adverse information on your credit reports.
If you have the followingadverse events in your credit history, you will need to complete a waiting period before applying for an FHA-backed mortgage:
Foreclosure – Three years
Chapter 7 bankruptcy – Two years post-discharge
Chapter 13 bankruptcy – 12 months post-discharge
Medical collections/chargeoffs – No waiting period
Other collections – Might need to be paid off
Mortgage/rental payments – Current for the previous 12 months
Debt-to-Income Ratio
The FHA has varying guidelines for a borrower’s debt-to-income (DTI) ratio based on their credit score and how much cash they have available.
Your DTI is the ratio of your monthly debt payments to your monthly income, which is your front-end DTI.
The FHA also considers your principal, interest, taxes, and mortgage (PITI) as compared to your monthly income. This is also known as the ratio of your payment to income or PTI. This is the back-end DTI or what your debt-to-income ratio would be after securing an FHA loan and having a new mortgage payment.
The normal DTI for an FHA loan is 43%, but loans might be approved with higher DTIs of 50% or more when the following compensating factors are present:
High credit score
Minimal payment shock with the new mortgage payment as compared to your existing rent or mortgage payment
Significant cash reserves for emergencies post-closing
Steady employment for several years
Strong residual income each month
If your DTI is too high, you can consider paying off debts with the largest monthly payments. Certain types of increases in your income could also help decrease your DTI.
When Is an FHA Loan the Best Option?
While conventional loans might have higher down payment requirements, and approval can be more difficult, they are typically cheaper than FHA loans over the long term. This is because PMI will only be required until you reach an LTV of 80% on a conventional loan, which is when you can cancel it.
By contrast, FHA loans require FHA insurance for either 11 years with a 10% down payment or the life of the loan if you can’t make a 10% down payment.
However, an FHA loan might be the best option in the following circumstances:
You have a lower credit score.
You have certain types of adverse information on your credit reports, such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, or charge-offs.
You have a higher debt-to-income ratio.
You intend to use gifts to make your down payment.
FHA loans can also be attractive for first-time homebuyers because of the low down payment and looser credit requirements.
When Might You Consider a Conventional Loan vs. an FHA Loan?
You might want to consider a conventional loan instead of an FHA loan in the following situations:
You intend to make a 20% down payment to avoid PMI.
You have an excellent credit score.
You want a mortgage with a shorter term than 15 to 30 years.
You qualify for the lowest interest rates.
You need a loan to purchase a second home or an investment property and don’t intend to live in one of the units.

I have spoken with several different lenders. Ascent (Weber State) Credit Union, AFCU, Academy Mortgage, City Creek, Navy Federal, etc. City Creek, since we refinanced our first home several years ago has been an amazing company to work… More with and it all comes down to your amazing rates and customer service.
Devyn has gone above and beyond her call of duty, and that is why I have chosen her over the "preferred lender" from our contractor. Devyn has always kept in touch with us. She called us out of the blue when rates were lower so we could lock at an incredible rate. She did the work for us, which is so refreshing when so much other stuff is going on during the building process.
Devyn has earned my business because of the time she has taken to ensure we are being taken care of. She did the homework for us. I wanted to let you know how great of an experience she has provided for my wife and I, in comparison to other lenders. I hope City Creek never loses that customer experience or the great rates you provide.
"X" was the "preferred" lender for the contracting company we were working with for the past year. Our contractor and "X" were offering an extra amount to close with them instead of other lenders. They have been good to work with but we had to initiate conversations. We had to set up meetings. We had to investigate rates ourselves and keep conversations going to make sure we were meeting deadlines. Even after all this work we did, their rates were still almost a full percent higher than City Creek. I would rather have someone like Devyn and City Creek that does the work for me, and puts the customer first, then receive some extra money from a "preferred lender".
As far as underwriters go, I wanted to give Robyn a shout out as well. We have talked with other underwriters. Robyn has been professional, extremely nice, and quick in her responses. Again, different from other lenders. The overall experience with City Creek has made us feel like an actual customer, and not just a number.
Kudos to the City Creek management style. It shows in their employees.
Robyn Spencer and her team were absolutely a breeze to work with. So incredibly professional, and responsive! We are so excited to work with her again, and would absolutely recommend her.

I have referred all of my friends and family to them because they were that good.

I will forever use these guys. I don’t know if everyone at City Creek is as good as Troy but you have to call him first. My loan was ready to go several days before closing. The process was so smooth and efficient.
Alexis and Carlin were awesome to work with! As a real estate agent, working with a client who is buying a home, one of the most important qualities a mortgage lender can have is to be a good communicator. Both Alexis and Carlin have… More this quality in spades.

For my last mortgage, I shopped around and found what I thought was a great price. So for this property I got a quote from that same mortgage company and was planning to close with them.
But I also decided to check out City Creek Mortgage. I had seen their billboards advertising rates but hadn't ever priced them out. So I used their rate search tool online which gave me everything I needed to compare apples to apples to the other quote (multiple rate options, various closing cost options, etc. all without talking to anyone).
City Creek's rate was much lower - so much lower I would have had to have paid more than $6K to the other guy to buy his rate down enough to match City Creek's. I'll never know how much of that difference was his commission, but that's way too much money to throw away. After hearing Alexis tell me she was salary-based, it all clicked. That's probably where a big portion of the savings came from.
I wish I would have tested out City Creek's rates sooner, they’re the real deal.
Working with Taylor and Alexis over at City Creek was a breath of fresh air. I like to think that I did my due diligence during the research phase of purchasing a home and assessing mortgage lenders, and ran into all types of personalities… More along the way. In such a high-stress and volatile market (seller's market turned buyer's market, turned recession H2 2022) I realized that predictability and professionalism, which lead to transparency and timely communication, were the most important characteristics for me during this transaction - which City Creek nailed.I'd highly recommend anybody to work with them, and I'll refer them to anyone who asks me they should reach out to in the future.Working with Taylor and Alexis over at City Creek was a breath of fresh air.

Really impressed with City Creek. This is our second loan with them and we were shopping around for mortgages (wanting to be sure) and Alexis and Taylor were fantastic in helping us in easing our nerves, getting a great rate, and providing… More consistent updates in the process. Highly recommend. They took great care of us.
Alexis and Taylor were very nice to work with. They were responsive, and answered all my questions. I spent some time shopping around with various loan agencies and this group was my favorite. They were especially helpful for a first time… More home buyer - I didn't know anything, and they walked me through it step by step.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Taylor and Alexis at City Creek Mortgage and we are so happy we did! They were so kind, energetic, and professional through the whole process! They worked quickly and kept us updated at every… More point. They were quick to respond to questions and made sure we knew exactly what we were signing up for with the figures and paperwork. We would highly recommend them and can't wait to work with them more in the future!
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Troy, Ivie and Carlin! Getting a mortgage at this time in the housing market can be very frustrating and discouraging with rates but they each made the process so much easier and… More minimal stress for me.
I was originally referred to my builder's "preferred lender" but wanted to shop around for rates. My builder was offering thousands in incentives towards closing costs with their lender, but I was impressed with the amount of 5 star reviews for City Creek and thought I'd see what they could offer. Troy and his team were able to secure a lower rate and lower closing costs even without the incentive money from the builder!
Troy and Ivie worked hard to think outside the box for my unique situation and Carlin worked so hard to get all the documents done in time. We even bumped up our closing date a week and Carlin was still able to get it all done without any delays! When we were at closing, even the title officer commented how much she appreciated how easy it was for her to work with Carlin on their end.
All of them had great communication through the entire process and their customer service is top-notch! I am so grateful to each of them for all that they were able to do for me and I look forward to working with them again in the future!
Highly recommend Jordan and Taylor at City Creek Mortgage. I was in the market to purchase a home and was trying to figure out which lender to use. The billboards are what drew me in and made me give them a call and I’m very glad I did.… More They were very quick and proficient at their jobs. They were transparent at providing me numbers and information. Best of all, they were able to secure the lowest rate at the lowest closing costs as well. I applied and shopped with 4 other lenders and from the very start I knew I was going to go with City Creek Mortgage simply due to their professionalism and excellent customer service. Thank you again Jordan and Taylor. I will definitely refer anyone I know in the market to you guys. In the future, you will be my Go-To for any mortgage lending needs.
