FHA Loan Income Requirements

What are Today's FHA Loan Income Requirements?

There is no minimum income requirement for an FHA Loan. Instead of a minimum income requirement, FHA Mortgages use debt-to-income ratios (DTI) to determine FHA Loan Income eligibility. Standard FHA Loan debt-to-income ratios are 31/43. These ratios may be exceeded with compensation factors. What does this mean to you? Simply put, it means that your monthly housing costs (mortgage principal and interest, property taxes and insurance) must meet a specified percentage of your gross monthly income (31% ratio) and you must also have enough income to pay your housing costs plus all additional monthly debt (43% ratio). These percentages may be exceeded with compensating factors.

Do FHA Loans have Mortgage Insurance?
FHA Loans have Monthly Mortgage Insurance on loans with a term of greater than 15 years and a loan-to-value ratio of 90% or greater (meaning you are borrowing more than 90% of the value of the home). FHA Mortgage Insurance (MI) is not considered FHA Loan PMI, because it is not provided by a private mortgage insurance company like on Conventional Loans. When comparing the monthly mortgage insurance rates on FHA Loans vs Conventional Loans PMI, the FHA MI Rates are usually better.
