2016 Student Loans

2016 Student Loans

Student loans that are deferred must be deferred for over one year not to be included in your debt-to-income ratio. Documentation of deferment will be required.

If your student loan deferment can not be documented that it will continue for 1 year. Then the monthly payments must be included in your debt-to-income ratio.

Minimum Credit Score

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 a minimum score. These changes went in to effect in 2010.

To buy a home or refinance you will need a minimum FICO score of 500.

Borrowers with scores above 580 require a 3.5% down payment. The funds can be a gift from a family member and up to 6% seller concession is allowed. 12 months of on time rental history or on time mortgage payment history will be required for scores below 640. If you do not have verifiable payment history 3 months of reserves will be required. Reserves must be the borrower's own funds.

If you have FICO scores below 580 new FHA changes require a 10% down payment. The funds can be a gift from a family member and up to 6% seller concession is allowed. 12 months of on time rental history or on time mortgage payment history will be required. If you do not have verifiable payment history 3 months of reserves will be required. Reserves must be the borrower's own funds.
