Looking to get an FHA loan? The Federal Housing Administration, FHA for short, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the U.S. Here's how to get your FHA-insured loan. Learn how to get one with help from this video.
What you will need:
• A low debt load
• Two years of employment
• Good credit
• An FHA-approved lender
• A down payment
• Mortgage insurance
Step 1: Analyze debt-to-income ratio
Analyze your debt-to-income ratio. Typically any debt load above 41 to 45 percent is risky for an FHA loan, though lenders vary on exact amounts. FHA will require two years of employment without a decline in pay.
Step 2: Check your credit
Check your credit, income, and rent history – even parking tickets that might show up on a credit report. Fix whatever you can so your record is clean.
Step 3: Have a 580 credit score
Boost your odds with a 580 or better credit score. You must have perfect credit since any bankruptcy, which must be more than two years old, or three for foreclosures.
Step 4: Find an FHA lender
Find an FHA lender in the newspaper, on the internet, or in the phone book. Bring the above information to qualify and find out how much house you can get.
Step 5: Provide the down payment
Provide the down payment – as little as 3 to 5 percent of the home price – and wait for the inspections to follow.

I was in need of a few dollars and I needed it quickly. Credit score isn't by any means good. Credit karma said poor chance of getting a loan. But I had to try anyway since it was only a $5k loan. To my surprise I was approved. I've been trying to raise my credit score also so this was a win in 2 ways. The emergency money paid what needed to be paid, I'm sure tomorrow when I pay the loan off it sure can't hurt my credit, only help it. Thank you (LoanLending at Cash4U dot Com) for being there when I needed help. I will definitely be back if I ever need an emergency loan. 10 stars in my book!!!
