FHA Loan Guidelines:Employment and Income

Effective IncomeFHA loan guidelines call for the evaluation of the source of a

borrower’s income to ensure that it can be verified, that it is

stable, and that it has a high likelihood to continue.

Verifying   Employment History

FHA does not put restrictions on the type of employment that a

borrower has. However, FHA loans do require that a borrower has

at least two years of employment history. In case there are any

gaps that last for at least a month, the borrower must provide an

explanation and supporting documents.

Self­Employed Borrowers

One is considered self­employed if he has at least 25%

ownership in a business. To show stability, the ideal minimum

length of self­employment to be considered for an FHA loan is

two years. Prior to the self­employment, the borrower should have

at least two years of work experience in the same line of work.

FHA Loan Guidelines:Qualifying Ratios

The purpose of the qualifying ratio is to determine if the

borrower can afford the home together with the family’s cost

of living expenses. There are two important numbers that the

lender must calculate. These include:

Mortgage Payment Expense to Effective Income ratio

Total Fixed Payment to Effective Income ratio
