What if the borrower has no credit bureau score? What happens in that event?
For those borrowers without sufficient trade lines to develop a credit bureau score, they will have to have a downpayment of at least 5% of their own money to qualify for FHA-insured financing and will pay 2.25% upfront. These borrowers can lower the premium to 2.00% by making a downpayment of 10% of their own money.
