FHA World - 2017 FHA Down Payment

If you will be using your own funds for the down payment you will have to provide three recent months statements showing the funds in your account. If the down payment will be a gift a signed gift letter will be needed from the giver. Ability to give the gift will also be needed. A statement from the giver's account will be needed showing the funds available. Any and all gift funds must be documented with canceled checks or wire transfer.
FHA World - FHA Minimum Credit Score
Generally, a borrower who has made timely payments for the last 12 months serves as a guide and demonstrates their willingness to repay future credit obligations. New FHA policy changes require minimum FICO credit score to be 580 for 96.5% down payment. These Fico credit score requirements went into effect in the spring 2010. However, most individual lenders will still require credit scores higher than 640.
A perfect credit score is not needed for an FHA loan approval. In fact, even if you have had credit problems, such as a bankruptcy, it's easier for you to qualify for a FHA loan than a for a conventional loan. Scores down to 500 are accepted if there are compensating factors that offset the credit risk.
Credit score below 580 require a larger (10)% down payment on a purchase and gift funds are not allowed.
