Many Texas buyers hear one mortgage phrase and think it gives the whole answer. It usually does not, because underwriting looks at the full picture.
The problem
The problem is usually not the rule itself. The problem is finding out too late which document, number, or property detail controls the answer.
The solution
- Ask which FHA item controls the answer.
- Check credit, income, assets, debts, and property condition.
- Confirm whether gift funds, seller credits, or assistance fit the file.
- Do not make an offer until the lender explains the weak spot.
