When you find a property you want to make an offer on you must include the seller concessions in the sales contract. You can write it in two ways as a dollar amount (seller will pay $6,000.00 for closing cost) or you can write it in a percentage amount (seller will pay up to 6% of the purchase price for closing cost).

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 3.5% down payment. These Fico credit score requirements went into effect in the spring 2010.
