HomeBridge is pleased to announce enhancements to our FHA Non-Credit Qualifying Streamline program as detailed below.
- The minimum credit score for all non-credit qualifying Streamlines is now 620 regardless of property location (removing minimum credit score by state requirement)
- Mortgage seasoning for non-credit qualifying Streamlines is now per FHA guidelines (removing the 12 month pay history requirement)

- 0 x 30 in months 7-12 (≤ 6 months not eligible)
- Loan being refinanced seasoned ≥ 12 months
- 1 x 30 in previous 12 months, and
- 0 x 30 in the 3 months preceding the loan application.
Mortgage Seasoning
- Borrower has made a minimum of 6 payments on the FHA mortgage being refinanced, and
- At least 6 full months have passed since the first payment due date on the mortgage being paid off, and
- A minimum of 210 days have passed from the closing date of the mortgage being refinanced.
The enhancements apply to new submissions and loans currently in the pipeline.
