FHA Loans

Why Choose Axen Mortgage for Your FHA Loan?

Not all FHA lenders are the same — and that difference can determine whether you’re approved or denied.

FHA sets the minimum guidelines for qualifying, but many lenders add their own extra rules on top of FHA’s requirements. These added restrictions—often called lender overlays—can make it far harder to qualify than FHA ever intended.

At Axen Mortgage, we take a different approach.

We work from the true FHA guidelines, not unnecessary overlays. That means:

More flexible approvals

Fewer surprise denials

Clear explanations instead of confusing “no’s”

A lender who knows how FHA loans are supposed to work

Our job isn’t to make FHA loans harder—it’s to make them work for you.
