Question by Phillissa: Does anyone know a mortgage company or broker that goes by FHA rules?
I’m trying to get a mortgage loan but having a bit of trouble because I am paid commission. I’ve now have two years of commission on tax returns, but one year and a half was with one company and the other 7 months were with a different company in a different field. I called FHA and they said I would qualify for an FHA loan under there guidelines and that I don’t have to hold a certain position for a certain amount of time as long as I have two years commission on taxes. They even sent me an email with the rules on that to confirm. Some mortgage companies agree and some don’t even though they claim to do things the same. I found two companies that does things FHAs way but they are so busy they are taking a long time to get me a pre-approval. Is there anyone that is fast and on top of things that is okay with our situation? I’m in Austin, TX.
I wouldn’t mind going convential either if need be.

The FHA is a guarantee, they are not the lender. You are going to have to comply with the rules of the specific lenders and wait it out.

    FHA does not loan money. They do issue mortgage insurance that a mortgage company can use to protect them in case you foreclose. It is up to the lender if they want to be more strict than FHA minimum guidelines. There are a lot of mortgage companies that say one thing and yet do another. I would not pick a mortgage company without a local broker that has been recommended to me by people I trust. Do not use any of the big banks.

    A lot of the same issues also apply on conventional loans also- but if you can put 20% down the fees will be much lower and far fewer complications because the investor will not feel the need for mortgage insurance by FHA or anyone else.
