FHA Back to Work Extenuating Circumstances Mortgage Versus NON-QM Loans

On August 15th, 2013, HUD has introduced the FHA Back to Work Extenuating Circumstances due to an economic event mortgage program:

• The FHA Back to Work Extenuating Circumstances due to an economic event shortened the waiting period to one year for those home buyers who had a prior bankruptcy and/or housing event
• Housing events are foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or short sale
• One of the major requirements for a home buyer to qualify under the FHA Back to Work Extenuating Circumstances due to an economic event was borrowers had to prove that they were unemployed or underemployed
• Need to have been unemployed for at least six months prior to the initiation of the bankruptcy and/or foreclosure proceedings
• Proper documentation will be required as well as supporting facts
• A one hour HUD approved counseling course need to completed and the certificate needs to be signed by the housing counselor
• The maximum debt to income ratios are 31% front end and 43% back end
• The FHA Back to Work Extenuating Circumstances due to an economic event mortgage programs were all manual underwrites
• The underwriter has tons of discretion in mortgage approvals
• A detailed letter of explanation is what will make or break this deal

Unfortunately, this loan program was a total flop and HUD ended up discontinuing it.
