Is it Possible to Receive a FHA Loan as a Recent College Graduate?

[Colin White]

Hey everyone,

I am 22 and recently graduated from college this past spring and have been working in my post-grad position for about six months. 

This year I am looking to purchase my first property with an FHA loan, but I have heard from multiple people that most lenders will only qualify you if you have two prior years of employment. I have W2 forms dating back till I was 14, and I worked a few jobs in college and internships each summer that also provided proof of employment. Will this be enough to convince a lender to issue an FHA loan, or are they specifically looking for two years of post-graduate employment?

I'd really appreciate any insight or advice! I am new to Bigger Pockets and just moved to Atlanta. I'm super excited to join the community and start my investment journey!

Thanks,
