Qualification for FHA Mortgages

Qualifying for a mortgage loan can be hard to do if you do not have a lot of money for a down payment or even the best credit report. The best type of loan for you would be a FHA Loan. There are fewer restrictions for a FHA Loan Qualification as opposed to a standard mortgage loan.

Here is a list of the FHA Loan Qualifications:

  • You will need to have 2 years of steady employment. Not necessarily by the same employer but it is preferred.
  • Your income should be similar or increasing for the past 2 years.
  • You should have less than two 30 day periods of late payments on your credit reports.
  • If you have declared bankruptcy, then it must be at least 2 years old and you will have to have good credit since then.
  • Foreclosures will also need to be older than 3 years and have good credit since then.
  • Mortgage payment should be about 30% of your gross income.
