You may have heard that in 2010, getting approved for the popular FHA-to-FHA refinance program became much more difficult than in the prior year.
Here are the main areas where the FHA has toughened up!
- 97.75% max LTV
- Income verified
- Must be employed at the time of application
- Must verify cash needed at closing
- FHA homeowners must commission a full appraisal in order to add ”roll in” closing costs to the refinance
- FICO score of 620 and above required
