Understanding the Role of a Mortgage Broker for the Best Mortgage Rates in New Jersey
FHA announced a policy change to address risk and strengthen finances. FHA has changed the minimum credit score for new borrowers:
- New borrowers will now be required to have a
minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for 3.5% down payment
- FHA loan requires new borrowers with less than a 580 credit score will be required to put down at least 10%
- FHA minimum credit score is 500
In the old days, FHA did not have a minimum credit score requirement.
FHA requires a minimum down payment of 3.50% for borrowers with a minimum credit score of 580. FHA requires a minimum down-payment of 10.0% for borrowers with credit scores below 580.
FHA loans have been helping people become homeowners since 1934. The FHA insures the loan, so you can get a better deal.
* Low down-payments
* Low closing costs
* Easy credit qualifying
FHA loans are continuing to support the nation's housing market recovery.
FHA does not require collection accounts to be paid off as a condition of mortgage approval. However, FHA does recognize that collection efforts by the creditor for unpaid collections could affect the borrower’s ability to repay the mortgage.
- If evidence of a payment arrangement is not available, the lender must calculate the monthly payment using 5% of the outstanding balance of each collection, and include the monthly payment in the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.
