Understanding FHA Loans & Loan Requirements in CT

How Do FHA Loans Work?

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) – which is part of HUD – insures the loan, so a lender can offer you a better deal. This potentially offers lower down payments, lower closing costs, or qualifying easy credit.
Even if you have a low income and a low credit score you may still be eligible for a FHA loan, that’s the great part about them. There are even a few specific loans for those without a credit score. On the other hand if you have a good credit score, you may be able to start out with a low down payment or slightly lower interest rates.

Are There Beneficial FHA Loan Types For Seniors?

Yes. If you are 62 or older and live in your own home, own it outright or have a low loan balance, you can apply for a FHA Reverse Mortgage. This special mortgage allows you to convert a portion of your equity in the home into cash providing you an additional source of income as you grow older.

● Stable employment with income for at least two years, ideally with the same employer● Good credit, or with a credit score lower than 580, must be able to make a down payment as high as 10%, and as little as 3.5%● No foreclosure on a property in the last 3 years● No bankruptcy in the past 2 years● One or zero 30-day grace period on late payments on credit report● FICO score greater than 500● Have a Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP)● Loan being taken out for a primary residence occupancy● Home meets minimum standards for appraisal

What Are The Requirements For a FHA Loan?

Borrowers must have a steady employment history or worked for the same employer for the past two years.

● Borrowers must have a valid Social Security number, lawful residency in the U.S. and be of legal age to sign a mortgage in your state.

● Borrowers must pay a minimum down payment of 3.5 percent. The money can be gifted by a family member.

● New FHA loans are only available for primary residence occupancy.

● The property must meet certain minimum standards at appraisal. If the home you are purchasing does not meet these standards and a seller will not agree to the required repairs, your only option is to pay for the required repairs at closing (to be held in escrow until the repairs are complete).

FHA 203k Loan CT

When a property in Connecticut is in need of repairs, a 203k loan option can be a smart mortgage loan option. 
The main benefit of a 203k loan is that with just one loan, borrowers can purchase a "fixer-upper" and finance the repairs that need to be made. Additionally, down payments as low as 3.5% make 203k loans an attractive option.
Requirements for 203k loans in CT are outlined below:● Borrowers must be first time home owners, and have not owned a home in the past 3 years.
● Investment properties are not allowed. Borrowers must make this home their primary residence within 1 year.
● Total cost of home rehab must not be greater than the maximum loan amount outlined in the loan.
● Construction contracts must be made with a state-licensed construction company.
● The sales price of the home must be within the CHFA Sales Price Limits, and your gross income must be within the CHFA Income Limits.
