FHA Qualifications

Qualifying for a home mortgage loan can sometimes be difficult without a sizable down payment and a moderate credit report. If this describes you and your financial position, an FHA loan may be for you! There are fewer restrictions for FHA loan qualification in comparison to a standard mortgage loan. Qualifications for an FHA loan are:

  • Proven employment status of at least 2 years.
  • Steady or increasing income over a 2 year period.
  • History of on-time payment. No more than two missed payments on your credit.
  • If you've filed for bankruptcy you must wait at least 2 years and have good credit since you filed.
  • Those with foreclosures must wait at least 3 years since the most recent foreclosure.
  • Monthly mortgage payment should be roughly 30% of your gross income.
  • You must pay a minimum of a 3.50% down-payment.
  • Agree to 2.25% in closing costs. However these cost are somestimes paid by the seller.
  • The property must be your primary residence.
