FHA loans require many things from the borrower. The credit report, residence history, employment history and a list of all current outstanding debt must all be furnished to give the lender and the FHA a good picture of the borrower as a credit risk. When it comes to government home loans, all the information is needed since credit scores are not the determining factor in whether or not the FHA mortgage is approved.
An FHA borrower with good credit, a solid work history and a track record of on-time payments would seem to be a shoo-in for an FHA home loan. But there’s one thing that can offset the good things for the borrower if his or her debt-to-income ratio isn’t within the limits for an FHA loan.
