Non Traditional Credit

FHA allows non traditional credit borrowers to qualify for a FHA loan. FHA allows you to buy a home with 3.5% down payment. The down payment can be the borrowers own funds or a gift. Up to 6% seller concession is allowed. If you have no credit history FHA accepts three forms of non-traditional credit.

Trade Lines

FHA allows a borrower with three forms of non traditional credit to qualify for a FHA loan. Let's say you have car insurance, cell phone bill and your electric bill. If these accounts have been paid on time for the last 12 months FHA will allow you to add these trade lines to your credit report. It will not give you a credit score but now you have 3 trade lines. You will trade lines and FHA lets qualify with no credit score but three trade lines.

FHA Collection Account

FHA on April 2012 changed it's collection account guidelines. Going forward all collection accounts within the last two years must be paid off. All collection accounts totaling over $1,000.00 must be paid off. Collection accounts that total less than $1,000.00 and are over two years old may not have to be paid off.

If you have collection accounts that are not paid off - FHA allows you to set up a payment arrangement to qualify. By setting up a payment arrangement FHA will allow you to make three on time monthly payments to qualify for a FHA loan.

Today’s historically low interest rates make now the perfect time to purchase a new home or refinance.

One of the most popular types of mortgages is the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. This loan is usually the easiest to qualify for and provides the maximum interest deduction at tax time. The interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan which provides unchanging low monthly payments.
