What is an FHA Mortgage and How Do I get one?
The purpose of the FHA is to provide government mortgage insurance for loans made by FHA-approved Florida mortgage lenders, banks, and other mortgage companies. The sole purpose of the FHA is to increase homeownership by making FHA mortgage loans more affordable and easier to qualify for. The FHA itself is not a direct mortgage lender but rather FHA is a government entity that provides the FHA mortgage insurance needed for private Florida FHA mortgage lenders. FHA mortgage insurance protects the mortgage lender or bank from losses with the FHA mortgage insurance the borrower pays. FHA mortgage loans bridge the gap between approved lenders and homebuyers by providing a new financing option to bridge the gap where bank loans do not serve the public. 

Can you explain FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums? 

FHA requires that FHA mortgage applicants pay (2) two types of mortgage insurance premiums! 1) an Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) and 2. an Annual MIP (charged monthly). 1. The Upfront MIP is equal to 1.75% of the base loan amount. The UFMIP is paid at the time of closing and is added to the total loan amount.  If the FHA home loan for $400,000, for example, you’ll pay an UFMIP of 1.75% x $400,000 = $7000. The payments are deposited into the FHA trust account set up by the U.S. Treasury Department, and the funds are used to make mortgage payments in case you default on the loan. The 2nd FHA mortgage insurance is This monthly mortgage Insurance is paid monthly as part of the monthly mortgage payment Monthly MI is paid for the life of the FHA loan.  It will never disappear or fall off the loan. This is an important consideration when deciding whether to elect for a traditional conventional mortgage with MI or an FHA loan. With the  FHA loan borrowers will always have mortgage insurance no matter how much equity they accumulate in the property either by appreciation or by paying the loan amount down.  Whereas with a conventional mortgage the Mortgage insurance falls off once the loan amount is paid down to 78% or the original purchase price on a Primary Residence.  

How Do FHA Mortgage Lenders Work?

FHA mortgage lenders provide government-backed insurance that can help you buy a home with lower credit scores and downpayment.

FHA Mortgage Lenders For Borrowers With Bad Credit 

How Do I know if an FHA Mortgage with work for me? FHA mortgage loans are one of the most popular and are used by many of the buyers we serve. FHA mortgage lenders are the best option for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit and lower credit scores. The FHA mortgage is NOT for investors or vacation home buyers. FHA mortgage applicants can finance a 1-4 owner-occupied primary residence property with an FHA mortgage. FHA Mortgage guidelines allow credit scores as low as 500 credit scores with 10% down or 580 credit scores with a 3.5% down payment.

What exactly is an FHA Mortgage?

FHA mortgage loans have lower down payments and minimum credit score and payment history requirements, but you’ll also have to pay FHA mortgage insurance. FHA-approved mortgage lenders provide FHA loans that the Federal Housing Administration backs, an agency within HUD.gov. FHA mortgage loans are insured by the FHA, which means that this government organization protects the private FHA mortgage lender against loss if you default on your loan. The option of a low down payment and more lenient credit requirements can make FHA loans particularly attractive for first-time homebuyers, although you don’t have to be a first-time homebuyer in order to qualify. Here are some benefits of FHA loans:

  • The Minimum credit score for an FHA mortgage is 10% down with a 500+ credit score or 3.5% down if your credit score is over 580!
  • The downpayment can come from a family member as a gift or a grant from down payment assistance.
  • You could still qualify for an FHA loan 2 years after bankruptcy and 3 years after the foreclosure.
  • You Can negotiate seller pay closing costs of up to 6% for closing costs and prepaid taxes and insurance also known as prepaid closing costs.

How Does FHA Mortgage Insurance Work?

FHA mortgage loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a subordinate to the Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Because Florida FHA-approved mortgage lenders take on more risk due to low credit scores down to +500 and minimal 3.5% down payment Florida FHA mortgage applicants are responsible for paying FHA mortgage insurance. With an FHA mortgage, you are responsible for FHA’s MIP for the life of your loan and you must refinance to remove FHA mortgage insurance. FHA mortgage applicants have to pay (2) types of mortgage insurance premiums: upfront and annual. The upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) is charged at your mortgage closing totals 1.75% of the loan amount, and the annual premium of .85% is an ongoing obligation you pay monthly included in your mortgage payment. The FHA mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) protect the FHA mortgage lender in the event of mortgage default. 

1. Cash – FHA Mortgage Lenders Minimum Cash Downpayment Requirments

An FHA loan requires a minimum 3.5% down payment for credit scores of 580 and higher. If you can make a 10% down payment, your credit score can be in the 500 – 579 range. With an FHA mortgage, the seller can credit you up to 6% to cover all your closing costs. If the seller is paying closing costs must be in writing on your sales contract. 

2. Credit – FHA Mortgage Lenders Credit Scores

There are a lot of factors that can help increase your credit score, including:

  • The type of credit you have (whether you have credit cards, loans, etc.)
  • Credit card utilization, the lower the balance compared to the limit the higher your credit score.
  • 35% of your credit score is based on timely payment history, if you have any 30-day late payments ask for a 1-time exception.
  • Settlement or Payment for deletion of collection accounts. Make sure to get the settlement agreement in writing.

If you have a higher mid-credit score over 620, you might be able to qualify with a higher debt-to-income ratio up to 50-56%. DTI is short for Debt-To-Income and refers to the percentage of your monthly gross income that goes toward your housing payments + plus all payments reflected on your credit reports. Your DTI DEBT TO INCOME RATION is your total monthly debt payments divided by your before-tax monthly gross income.

3. Capacity – How To Calculate FHA Mortgage Lenders Income Ratios!

This means 31% of your before-tax income for housing and no more than 43% includes the 31% for housing (+) plus all minimum monthly payments on your credit report up to 43% of your total monthly income. For example, if you bring in $6000 per month then no more than 31% or $1860 for housing and 43% or no more than $2580 per month for the new housing payment (+) plus all other monthly payments on your credit report. Alimony payments are also included in your debt-to-income ratio but they are treated differently.

How do FHA Appraisals work if I purchase a home to flip using an FHA mortgage?

Property Flipping occurs whereby recently acquired property is resold for a considerable profit with an artificially inflated value. The term Property Flipping refers to the purchase and subsequent resale of a property in a short period of time.  The eligibility of a property for an FHA Mortgage is determined by the time that has elapsed between the date the seller acquired title to the property and the date of execution of the sales contract that will result in the FHA-insured Mortgage.  FHA defines the seller’s date of acquisition by the title transfer date. FHA defines the resale date as the date of execution of the sales contract by all parties intending to finance the Property with an FHA-insured Mortgage Lender. 
 
FHA Mortgage Resales Occurring within 90 Days or Fewer After Acquisition:
A property that is being resold within 90 days or fewer following the current owner’s date of acquisition is not eligible for an FHA-insured Mortgage. 
 
FHA Mortgage Resales Occurring Between 91-180 Days After Acquisition:
FHA mortgage lenders must obtain a second appraisal by another appraiser if: 

  • the resale date of a property is between 91 and 180 days following the acquisition of the property by the seller’s; and 
  • the re-sale price is 100 percent “over the purchase price” paid by the seller to acquire the property.

The required second appraisal from a different appraiser must include documentation to support the increased value. 
 

If the second appraisal supports a value of the property that is more than 5 percent lower than the value of the first appraisal, the lower value must be used as the property value in determining the adjusted value.  The cost of the second appraisal may not be charged to the borrower.  The Mortgagee must obtain a 12-month chain of title documenting compliance with time restrictions on resales.

 
Exceptions to FHA Flipping Rules are made for the following situations:

  • sales of properties by local and state government agencies; and 
  • sales of properties within Presidentially Declared Major Disaster Areas (PDMDA), only upon issuance of a notice of an exception from HUD. 
  • The restrictions listed above and those in 24 CFR 203.37a do not apply to a builder selling a newly built house or building a house for a borrower planning to use FHA-insured financing. 
  • properties acquired by an employer or relocation agency in connection with the relocation of an employee; 
  • resales by HUD under its real estate owned (REO) program; 
  • sales by other U.S. government agencies of Single-Family Properties pursuant to programs operated by these agencies; 
  • sales of properties by nonprofits approved to purchase HUD-owned Single Family properties at a discount with resale restrictions; 
  • sales of properties that are acquired by the seller by inheritance; 
  • sales of properties by state and federally-chartered financial institutions and Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE);

BAD CREDIT WITH PAST COLLECTION ACCOUNTS QUALIFYING FHA MORTGAGE LENDERS GUIDELINES 

FHA Mortgage Applicants can qualify for an FHA Loan with prior bad credit.  FHA Collections Guidelines do not require FHA mortgage applicants to pay off unpaid outstanding collection accounts to qualify for an FHA mortgage. With unpaid outstanding medical collection accounts, debt to income ratios are excluded and the FHA mortgage underwriter can ignore medical collection accounts with unpaid outstanding medical collection account balances no matter how much the unpaid outstanding medical collection account balance is. However, with non-medical unpaid outstanding collection accounts (the sum of all non-medical collection accounts with balances) on the credit report with balances over $2,000 requires that 5% of the remaining unpaid collection account balances must be added to the borrower’s debt to income ratio. FHA Mortgage Applicants can qualify for an FHA Loan with unpaid collection accounts, charge-offs, or even judgments.  FHA mortgage lenders provide mortgage lenders with no FHA mortgage lender overlays and just goes off the minimum FHA Loan Guidelines and the automated approval.  If FHA says no collections need to be paid off, the no collection accounts need to be paid off.

MEDICAL COLLECTIONS AND QUALIFYING WITH FHA MORTGAGE LENDERS 

FHA mortgage lenders do not count unpaid medical collection accounts against your debt to income ratios..  Medical collections are exempt regardless of balance of unpaid medical collection accounts.  With non-medical collection accounts, FHA Mortgage Applicants do not have to pay off any unpaid collection balance, however, if the total of unpaid collection balance is greater than $1,000, FHA will count 5% of the unpaid collection balance as a monthly debt obligation and will count it towards calculating FHA Mortgage Applicants debt to income ratios even though FHA Mortgage Applicants do not pay anything.  This can become a problem if FHA Mortgage Applicants’ unpaid collection balance is of a larger amount.  For instance, if FHA Mortgage Applicants have a $15,000 unpaid total collection balance, 5% of the $15,000, or $750, will be counted as a monthly debt obligation to your debt to income ratios. .  For some FHA mortgage applicants, this can be a loan breaker.  FHA does allow for FHA Mortgage Applicants to enter a written payment agreement with the creditor and whatever FHA Mortgage Applicants agree to mutually, will be used by the mortgage loan underwriter as FHA Mortgage Applicants’ monthly debt.  For instance, on the $15,000 unpaid credit collection balance, if FHA Mortgage Applicants and the creditor agreed on a monthly payment of $150.00 per month, then the $150.00 per month must be used as a monthly debt payment on that collection account. There is no payment seasoning requirement with collection repayment plans.
