FHA Employment Requirements
Does Your Job Time Really Mean Anything?

FHA employment requirements are simple‚ and ´they are just the same as any lender would want ´to see on your application for your home loan܂ Employment is absolutely a necessary part of ´the mortgage loan process܂ Your income is a direct link ´to your ability ´to repay‚ so ´there is no point in not being ´truthful about your job ´time܂

HUD does require ´the job ´time ´to be stable‚ so what FHAs employment requirements state ´that you should have been employed for ´the past ´two years܂ If ´the borrower has been serving in ´the military during ´this ´time ´that is fine‚ but everything must be documented܂ The same rule applies ´to anyone who would have been a student‚ so if you were in college ´that is no problem but ´they will want ´to see a transcript from your school܂ Any gaps in unemployment must be explained‚ and if you were on unemployment be honest about it܂ You dont want ´to get into ´the process of starting a loan application if you know you wont be able ´to finish it܂

The underwriters job is simply ´to make sure ´that ´there is a steady source of income in ´the home in order ´to get ´the loan approved܂ From a banks perspective‚ ´they obviously dont wish ´to approve someone who cant show steady earnings܂ FHA does have common sense underwriting so being able ´to repay your loan would make good sense܂ FHAs employment requirements are put into a place as a safeguard for your loan‚ so dont view ´this as a stumbling block ´to ´the process܂ They also know ´that by looking at your application‚ ´that if you werent able ´to hold down a job ´that you may not be stable enough ´to repay ´the loan back܂ This makes sense‚ and it does prove a ´trend‚ which shows ´that ´those who have trouble keeping a steady job dont pay ´their obligations܂ Deep down‚ ´the feeling is ´that ´those who cant stick with‚ have a really hard ´time with commitment܂

One other ´thing ´to keep in mind‚ is ´that when ´there are dramatic changes in income ´this will raise a red flag܂ Underwriters are hesitant about approving loan applications for large swings in income ´that are so drastic܂ Income going from minimal ´to large‚ ´then large ´to minimal are frightening in ´their eyes܂ Again‚ its all about stability so keep ´this in mind when you decide ´to either buy a home‚ or refinance ´the one you have܂ FHAs employment requirements do make sense‚ and just remember its all about them running a business just as you would your own and being able ´to secure what ´they give you܂
