FHA Loans have lenient credit standards as compared to conventional loans.
FHA Loans will allow credit parameters that are not acceptable on conventional loans. FHA loans offer higher debt to income ratios, manual underwriting and the use of non-traditional tradelines. Manual underwriting offers the underwriter leeway to underwrite to FHA requirements when the borrower’s credit file is not accurate. FHA Loans allow Non-traditional tradelines when traditional tradelines are not enough. The minimum down payment needed is 3.5% of the purchase price.
First Time homebuyers are eligible for down payment assistance and additional loans to cover down payment and closing costs.
