“Not ready” includes a lack of discipline when it comes to paying your bills. Or you are worried about losing your job or your source of income as the job market becomes shakier. Or perhaps, for one reason or another, you will be moving away from the area in less than five years. Federal Housing Administration mortgages may still provide for a lower overall mortgage payment for those riskier borrowers who can also qualify for F & F conventional financing. The minimum FHA down payment is 3.5% of the sales price whereas conventional is 5% down but sometimes 3% down if you qualify for the programs called Home Ready or Home Possible.
