The Federal Housing Administration was established to encourage
home ownership throughout the country with the belief that home
ownership increases the stability of a community. Prior to the creation
of the FHA, large down payments were required to secure a mortgage
loan. At present, a minimum of 3% investment is required by the
borrower for the purchase of a home. As an incentive to investors
who purchase loans, FHA insures the loan against default, should
the borrower fail to repay. FHA guidelines also allow for greater
flexibility with regards to credit history and qualifying ratios.
The Minnesota FHA program opens up opportunities that conventional
mortgages do not offer:
- Expanded credit criteria
- Expanded Debt Ratios to 29%-41%
- Non-traditional credit history is considered
- All of the down payment may be gifted
- Seller may contribute up to 6% toward the closing costs
- Non-occupant cosigners are allowed
- 401-k loans are not counted in the debt ratios
To find out if you qualify for an FHA-insured mortgage loan, apply
online now and a housing counselor will look at certain information
about your income and spending to determine if you qualify.
Many people in the United States dream of owning their own homes,
but few are able to pay cash for them. Many individuals and families
who could not otherwise afford to own a home become homeowners with
the help of the Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance
programs. This could be your key to home ownership. The FHA program
offers many benefits not found in conventional programs.
You may qualify If you are:
- buying a home
- refinancing a mortgage for a home you already own
- making home improvements
In fact, almost anyone who has a satisfactory credit record, enough
cash to close the loan, and sufficient steady income to make monthly
mortgage payments can be approved for this mortgage. There is no
upper age limit and no certain income level required, although individual
mortgage amounts are limited by law. Generally, homebuyers must
live in the home in order to get this loan. The program is not open
to investors.
