HOW TO QUALIFY FOR  A FHA LOAN

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR  A FHA LOAN  

All FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are more lenient than conventional loans.  These government-backed home loans have helped finance the American Dream since 1934. Low down payments and attractive qualifying guidelines put home ownership within reach for many who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to buy a home with a conventional mortgage.

​

FHA loans are available with many different terms, so you can choose the length of the mortgage that works for you as well as the down payment depending on your credit score.  The home you want to buy will have to meet the FHA’s minimum property standards.

 

If you are thinking of refinancing.  An FHA adjustable rate mortgage are available and offer a low fixed rate.

​

Here are just a few of the advantages you can expect with an FHA home loan in addition to  Straight forward Qualifying and No Penalty for Early Payoff

 

FHA LOANS HAVE MINIMAL AND NO DOWN PAYMENT OPTIONS:

 

  • The standard down payment for an FHA Loan is only 3.5% of the purchase price.

  • Gifts from family or Grants for down payment assistance and closing costs OK!

  • No reserves or future payments in account required.

  • Seller can credit buyers up to 6% of sales price towards buyers costs.

  • FHA regulates closing costs.

  • Minimum 580 middle  credit score  96.5% LTV  

  • Minimum 550 middle credit score  up to 5% to10% Down Payment


TO QUALIFY FOR FHA LOAN  AFTER MORTGAGE CREDIT EVENTS:

  • Bankruptcies:  After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the waiting period is generally two years (exceptions for Chapter 13)

  • No Short Sale: in the last 3 years

  • Foreclosure:  You must wait at least three years after the foreclosure. The three-year clock starts ticking from the time that the foreclosure case has ended and you name is removed from title.


FHA LOANS ALLOW HIGHER DEBT TO INCOME & EASIER JOB QUALIFYING

 

  • FHA allows higher debt ratio's than most other loan programs.

  • Less than two years on the same job is OK!

BENEFITS OF FHA

Benefits of FHA Loans

 

FHA loans aren’t perfect for everybody, but they are an excellent fit in some situations. The main appeal is that they make it easy to buy property. But remember that these benefits always come with trade offs. The most attractive features include:

​

SMALL OR NO DOWN PAYMENT

​

FHA loans allow you to buy a home with a down payment as low as 3.5% percent. Other (conventional) loan programs may require a larger down payment, or they require high credit scores and high incomes to get approved with a small down payment.

​

If you have more than 3.5 percent available, you might be better off making a more substantial down payment. Doing so gives you more borrowing options like lower rates and saving money over the life of your loan.

 

No Down Payment:  > Learn More 

​

Gifts: It’s easier to use gifts for your down payment and closing costs with FHA financing.

 

Seller Credits:  Sellers can pay up to 6 percent of the loan amount toward a buyer’s closing costs. You’re most likely to benefit from that in a buyer’s market, but even in strong markets, you can potentially adjust your offer price enough to entice sellers.  

 

FHA are Assumable: A buyer can “take over” your FHA loan if it’s assumable. They pick up where you left off, benefiting from lower interest costs  

 

Mortgage Credit Events are OK: With a recent bankruptcy, foreclosure  or short sale in your history.  FHA loans are still available with waiting periods depending on the hardship   

 

Home improvement and repairs: Certain FHA loan programs can be used to pay for home improvement (through FHA 203k Rehab / Streamline programs). If you’re buying property that needs upgrades, those programs make it easier to fund your purchase and improvements with just one loan.
