with FHA loans if I need a co-signer, does it have to be relative?.

my son wants to buy a house, but he does not qualify, because his income is not high enough
Hi,
Main Elibigility of FHA Loan is
-You must have had a stable income for at least 3 years and proof that you have paid all your bills.
-You must be able to make a 3% down payment, which is considerably lower than conventional loans.
-There is a 2.25% closing cost, and monthly payments must be roughly 30% of your income.

So Definitly if your son does not qualify he will not get loan.

Thanks

A co-signer does not have to be a relative, but if your son is not in the position to afford this home please do not jump right into because you have a co-signer. It seems your son may need a co-Borrower who will contribute to the mortgage rather than just a co-signer who will be used for credit. I hope this helps...

Yes it doesnt have to be a relative but as stated above it looks more to be an income problem then a credit score.
