Qualify for FHA loan 2016


How to qualify for FHA loan 2016 - The mortgage industry has changed dramatically in the last few years. In the old days obtaining an FHA loan was easy. Today, most lenders require a minimum credit score of 640 to qualify for a FHA loan.

After the financial crisis of 2008 all the major banks raised their standards for approving an FHA loan. Because the banks make the rules for loans they will approve they may require a minimum credit score of 640 for their loans. These guidelines are the bank's guidelines.

FHA minimum credit score is 500. New FHA policy requires a minimum credit of 500 to buy a home or refinance. In the old days FHA did not require any credit score. These changes went in to effect in 2010.

Borrowers with credit score above 580 require a 3.5% down payment. The funds can be the borrower's own funds or a gift from a family member. FHA allows the seller to up to 6% of the purchase price for your closing cost.

If you have credit scores below 580 new FHA changes require a 10% down payment. All funds can be the borrower's own funds or a gift from a family member. FHA allows the seller to up to 6% of the purchase price for your closing cost.

August 15, 2016 borrowers may also be eligible for an FHA insured loan on a purchase transaction after 12 months from the completion, discharge, trustee's sale if the borrower meets the requirements for extenuating circumstances Economic Event.

Borrowers with a prior bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, or short sale may be eligible for an FHA insured loan if the bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, short sale was the result of a documented extenuating circumstance.

Closing cost - FHA allows the seller to pay up to 6% of your closing cost.

If you are buying a $100,000.00 house FHA allows the seller to pay up to $6,000.00 for your closing cost. It must be in writing in the sales contract, "Seller will pay up to 6% of buyer's closing cost."

If you do not write it into the sales contract then you will be paying the closing cost. In the state of Florida closing cost for a $100,000.00 house average around $4,300.00 depending on taxes, insurance and who's paying the transfer tax and owner's title insurance.

By allowing the seller to pay for your closing cost you will decrease the amount of money required to buy a home. Buying a $100,000.00 property requires $3,500.00 down payment and if the seller pays up to $6,000.00 for your closing cost you will only need around $4,000.00 to buy a $100,000.00 in Florida.

Are you short funds to close? The FHA no closing cost loan allows all of your closing cost to be rolled into your loan including your appraisal fee, hazard insurance premium and even your escrow account.
