General Rules For FHA Financing

Here are a few rules when considering an FHA loan.

- You will need some credit. However, you can use credit reference letters from utilities companies if you have no credit history.

-If you have minor collections, it is possible to still get approved if you have other strong accounts on your credit report.

-Verified income. FHA will require proof of income. It can be very difficult to obtain FHA approval if you're self-employed, although not impossible. I would recommend meeting with a lender who uses FHA to see if you qualify.

-Although FHA property guidelines have eased up a little, major systems will need to be working at time of inspection (heating/AC, water turned on, electricity turned on, etc).

-FHA requires a down payment of 3% of the sales price. However this down payment can be obtained from several sources (borrowers' savings, family gift, grant/loan from First Time Homebuyer Assistance programs, Gift from Non-Profit Organization). On Oct. 1, 2008 the down payment assistance programs will no longer be available. If you need this down payment assistance, I would recommend meeting with a lender ASAP.

-FHA doesn't require any minimum credit score, but most lenders will require a minimum score of 500 - 580.

-FHA allows for manual underwriting if the FHA automated approval system doesn't approve the loan.
