    Because it’s an FHA loan, lenders will offer you lower, more affordable rates. This is possible because the FHA insures lenders, so they have less risk by taking you on as a borrower.

    No matter what loan said, you still need to add the property tax and associate fee etc. and you shoun’t not pay more than 1/3 of your total income i mortagage, this is why happend many home were foreclosure, because many to meet the minimumt payment more than half of their income in mortage, when something happend like lay off from job, can’t keep up the high mortage result in foreclosure. 10% money down is less, ended you had to pay more per month, you should pay aleast 25% money down.

    31% payment to income
    43% total debt to income
    There are slight exceptions to these ratios depending on the Underwriters descretion..(ask your Loan officer)
