FHA loans also allow for a non-occupant co-borrower to help you qualify for a loan. You can qualify using the co-signer's income if your income is hard to document.
To qualify for a FHA home loan, the property must pass certain FHA inspections.
FHA loans can qualify a borrower with little or no credit history as well by using alternative credit. This can be done by supplying 4 types of monthly bills paid on time for one year. Examples of alternative credit include: rental history, electric bill, cable bill, cell phone bill, or any other type of account that is paid monthly.
3% to 3.5% of your own funds are required for a down payment for an FHA loan. These funds can be from a gift, retirement account, or any other asset account.
