This reliability includes holding a steady job for at least two years with the same company or employer and increasing or at least consistent income. Any foreclosures on their record should be at least three years old. The same applies for bankruptcy.

Buying your first home? The 203B
FHA might be just what you need. Your down payment can be as low as 3% of the purchase price, and most of your closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. Available on 1-4 unit properties.

Want a fixer-upper?- The 203K
FHA has a loan that allows you to buy a home, fix it up, and include all the costs in one loan. Or, if you own a home that you want to re-model or repair, you can refinance what you owe and add the cost of repairs, in one loan.

Financial help for seniors – The HECM
Are you 62 or older? Do you live in your home? Do you own it outright or have a low loan balance? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then the FHA Reverse Mortgage might be right for you. It lets you convert a portion of your equity into cash and tax – free income.
