A Perfect FHA Loan

Borrower has limited funds for a down paymentLoan has a high LTVBorrower has less than perfect creditLoan requires MI but borrower’s fico is too low

for MIWhen DTI is over 41% (when MI is required)Source of down payment is a gift or community

2nd and borrower has less than 5% of own funds

Non-occupying co-borrower qualifications are less restrictive than conventional

85% cash out

FHA may not be right when…

Your loan is a second home or non-owner occupied

Your condo is not FHA approved The LTV is below 80% The buyer already has an FHA loan (Unless met

exceptions indicated in HUD Handbook)There is a non-borrowing spouse with a lot of

debts (FHA requires debts be included in DTI in community property states)

FHA vs. Conventional

Lower minimum down-payment of 3.5%.No appraisal required for FHA to FHA

FHA vs. Conventional

High DTI compared to conventional loan. Fannie Mae now requires max DTI of 45% (back end). FHA can insure up to 45%(front)/55%(back) depending on AUS .

Max DTI doesn’t change even on High Balance loans (may go up to 45%/50% depending on AUS).

Family member can gift everything, including 3.5% down-payment requirement and ALL closing costs.

Down-Payment Assistant Programs (DAP)

FHA vs. Conventional

Seller can credit up to 6%** of ALL closing cost (recurring and non-recurring). That means seller can pay hazard insurance and tax impounds.

Non-occupying co-borrower transactions do not have separate LTV/DTI restrictions on the occupying borrowers. (Unless the borrower has no credit history)
