Roanoke Rapids FHA Loan Rates, Closing Costs & Stats
Roanoke Rapids, NC
FHA loans are mortgages created in the 1930's to help insulate lenders from credit risks and help promote
home ownership. The Federal Housing Administration (hence, FHA) allows for lower downpayments and
credit scores-- making these loans much more accessible than traditional mortgages.
FHA loans typically need just a 3.5% downpayment with credit scores of 580 or better. For credit scores
between 500-579, the downpayment needs to be at least 10%.
While FHA loans make home ownership much more accessible to first-time homebuyers, they do require PMI (purchase money insurance)--
an additional insurance premium that is paid to the FHA to help cover defaults.

Borrowers must have a valid Social Security number, lawful residency in the U.S. and be of legal age to sign a

Borrowers’ front-end ratio (mortgage payment plus HOA fees, property taxes, mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance)
needs to be less than 31 percent of their gross income, typically. You may be able to get approved
with as high a percentage as 40 percent. Your lender will be required to provide justification as to why they
believe the mortgage presents an acceptable risk. The lender must include any compensating factors used for loan approval.
Borrowers’ debt to income ratio (mortgage plus all your monthly debt, i.e., credit card payment, car payment,
student loans, etc.) needs to be less than 43 percent of their gross income, typically. You may be able to
get approved with as high a percentage as 50 percent.
Borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 580 for maximum financing with a minimum down payment of 3.5

Typically borrowers must be three years out of foreclosure and have re-established good credit.

repairs at closing (to be held in escrow until the repairs are complete).
