FHA GOLD Program Loosens Credit Guidelines for Subprime Borrowers

FHA has recently introduced a new FHA program for borrowers with less then good credit. This will greatly open up the floodgates to people who could not qualify for a new home mortgage in the past. Some of the highlights of this program are the following.

• FICO scores down to a 500. 1 score is acceptable for Purchase, Rate and Term, and Cash out Refinance.

Any score under a 580 and you will need to put at least 10% down on your new home purchase. A score of a 580 or higher, you will only need the standard 3.5% down. If you are concerned about your down payment, and do not have 10% with a score lower then 580, we can point you in the right direction in regards to getting your credit reestablished.

Other highlights of this amazing program are

• Non-occupying co-borrowers allowed
• No tradeline requirements
• Non traditional credit accepted
• Back to Work Program Okay
