FHA Loan Requirements 2016
FHA Loan Requirements 2016 - 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.
- New borrowers will now be required to have a minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for FHA's 3.5% down payment program
- New borrowers with less than a 580 credit score will be required to put down at least 10%
- To buy a home you will need a minimum credit score of 500
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 pay for your closing costs up to 6% of the purchase price.
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 pay for your closing cost up to 6% of the purchase price.

To refinance your mortgage you need a minimum credit score of 500.
Borrowers with a credit score above 580 can refinance up to a 97.5% loan-to-value on a rate and term refinance. And up to 85% cash out refinance with a credit score above 580.
If you have credit score below 580 new FHA changes require a
maximum loan-to-value of 90% for a rate and term refinance. And up to
75% cash out refinance with credit score below 580.
Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 640 for a FHA loan. We don't!
Whether you're planing to buy your first home, refinance, lower your monthly payments, buy a second home, consolidate debt or get pre-approved for a mortgage. 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 an FHA loan than a for a
conventional loan. Credit scores down to 500 are accepted if there are
compensating factors that offset the credit risk.
