First time home buyer…don't know anything about FHA loans or mortgage amount for my income???

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

I live in Colorado, just starting a new job where I will make a minimum of 68,500 (medical field so I will be able to increase my income to about 75,000 with extra hours). I’d REALLY like to buy a house, but with being a new graduate, I basically have very small for a down payment. I don’t know how much of a housing payment I can afford per month while still saving money, etc. No student loans need to be paid off, the government is doing that for me, and I have minor other monthly payments, no children, and I am single…

My question is, are there any downsides to an FHA loan?? Can someone give me a straight answer about how much of a mortgage I can afford, instead of these generic online calculators?? DON’T ANSWER WITH GENERIC ADVICE THAT I HAVE ALREADY FOUND ONLINE. I want to hear someone’s personal experience. Being a first time buyer, I don’t want to live beyond my means and become another casualty of the housing market…Thanks!

If I have a non occupant co-signer for an FHA loan, will I be approved for a higher amount?

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I am trying to buy my first home with my boyfriend of 6 years. His credit rating isn't very excellent, so I want to buy the home myself. Using a loan calculator, I figured out that on my own I won't be approved for a reasonable amount. If I have a co-signer, will the amount of the loan increase? How much will it increase?

Do you get more money for a VA or FHA loan?

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Can you qualify for more money if you use a VA or FHA loan instead of a conventional loan? Will this usually come at a higher interest rate? I have tried the home affordability calculators but they do not take into consideration different kinds of loans.
my question is will I be approved for a higher amount with a VA or FHA loan vs a conventional loan?

For example, if I would normally be approved for 150,000, would my approval amount for a VA or FHA amount be significantly higher?
