FHA Loan Requirements in OH
Qualifying for an Ohio FHA loan is not hard. You only need to make a down payment of 3.5% of the total loan amount and have a credit score of at least 640. Ideally you want your scores at 660 or higher so you can qualify for the best rate and the lowest payment. But that will depend on your credit history and other outstanding factors, something that Moreira Team can gladly help you with.
