Regarding FHA loan

Regarding FHA loan

Rental Property Investor · Philadelphia, PA · Member since 2023 · 68 posts · 18 votes

Does anybody know if my father can prove his income to a lender when I try applying for an FHA loan instead of my income?

Also want to know if the father needs to be a US citizen or permanent resident, as my dad is from a different country but I'm a permanent resident in PA.

Not sure if this is depending on each lender since it is related to Federal.

Thank you!

@Hyeseong Park  a "foreign resident" can't co-sign for you...but if he is a legal resident, then it's possible.

    HI Hyeseong, as long you can prove that the borrower can legally work or stay in the US with some source of income then anyone can apply for conventional.

     2 years of employment history. The tax returns can be most recent year or two years depending if it's freeddie or fannie, assuming you are self employment and needing to use your taxes as income.
