FHA and VA loans are government sponsored mortgage programs chosen by many first time home-buyers
(you don't necessarily have to be a first time home buyer, though) because it requires only a
small down payment of 3% (for FHA) and Zero Down (for VA).
In addition, the credit requirements are more relaxed than for similar
'conventional' mortgage programs. However, these programs have become very infrequent over these
days because of the availability of Conventional Loans with 'no money down' options with rates
that are usually much lower. The exception is in cases wherein the borrower has a high
'Loan to Value' and credit scores below 620.
