I am interested in a house in the 150k range. I have 30k to put down on it. Can I get a decent interest rate? My yearly income is about 100k.
Thanks,
Joe McDonald

Smoknjoe you should not have any issues in getting a loan.
You have decent credit score and good down payment and the vavaly fo the house is not high as compared to yoru income.
You need to show that you have been workign for last 2 years and your debt to income ratio is good

It is really a good sign that you are putting down 20 % of the total cost thus it will not be a big burden on you in lateral stage.Its a good move.
Hi Joe,
A credit score of 662 is enough to help you get an FHA loan, though it is not sufficient to get you a conventional loan. FHA requires you to pay a down payment of only 3.5% of the purchase price. Your $30k money will help you make a down payment of more than that. You can also afford to pay a few discount points upfront. This will help you get a lower interest rate. Your income is also enough to meet the income requirement for a home loan. Thus, you can qualify for a home loan at a good interest rate.
What you can do is, you can go for a no obligation free mortgage quote from the lenders of this community. They will assess your financial situation, credit scores etc. If you qualify for a loan, they will offer you free mortgage quotes. This will help you know the rates and terms that you can expect to get on the home loan.
