FHA Mortgage Income Requirements
What are current FHA Mortgage Income Requirements?
There is no minimum income requirement for an FHA Mortgage. Instead of a minimum income requirement, FHA Mortgages use debt-to-income ratios (DTI) to determine FHA Mortgage Income eligibility. Standard FHA Mortgage 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.
