FHA: Disclosures Disclosure Purchase Re-Fi Amendatory Clause Real Estate Certification Important Notice to Homebuyers For Your Protection (inspection) Informed Consumer Choice FHA ARM Disclosure Release of Liability FHA Borrower Authorization Identity of Interest Certification FHA/VA Addendum Hotel/Transient Usage SSN Verification Form 33 Mortgage Exercise 7-1 Borrower Stu wants to get an FHA loan for a home priced at $253,500 and appraised for $257,000. The monthly PITI payment on this house would be $1,780. He has a 680 credit score, gross monthly income of $6,850, other monthly recurring debts of $850, and $75 monthly electric bill. Stu will finance the 1.75% UFMIP into the loan. Assume that the FHA maximum loan amount for the county is $271,050. 34 Mortgage Exercise 7-1 1. What is borrower Stu s debt-to-income ratio? Based on the information provided, do you think this loan can be made? Why or why not? The borrower s total monthly debt is $2,630 ($1,780 + $850). Remember that utilities are not included as part of the debt ratio calculation. Divide that by gross monthly income of $6,850 to give him a total debt-to-income ratio of 38%, which is below the 43% FHA guideline. His credit score is acceptable and the sale price of the home is below the county loan limit, so yes, this loan can probably be made. 35 11

Mortgage Exercise 7-1 2. What is the required minimum investment Stu must make to buy this home? What is the total loan amount? (Round to the nearest dollar.) The minimum investment Stu must make is 3.5% of the sale price or appraised value, whichever is lower, so the minimum down payment is $8,872.50 ($253,500 x 0.035), making the base loan amount $244,628 (rounded up). The UFMIP is $4,281 ($244,628 x.0175). Since he s financing that, add it to the base loan amount for a total loan amount of $248,909 (rounded). 36 Mortgage Exercise 7-1 3. Would Stu be allowed to obtain secondary financing on this home to make the down payment? While borrowers can obtain secondary financing on FHA loans, it cannot be used for the required minimum investment. He could use a non-repayable gift for that, however. 37 Mortgage Exercise 7-1 4. What would be the prepayment penalty if Stu pays off the loan early? $0.00; there is no prepayment penalty allowed on FHA loans, though the lender could require Stu to pay interest for the month if the loan is not repaid on the first on the month. 38 12
