Borrowers with a score above 580 can refinance up to a 97.5% loan-to-value on a rate and term refinance. And up to 85% cash out refinance with a credit score above 580.
If you have credit score below 580 new FHA changes require a maximum loan-to-value of 90% for a rate and term refinance and up to 75% cash out refinance.
FHA income
Regardless of the FHA loan limit for your area, the amount of loan you qualify for depends on your income and ability to pay. Under FHA standards, you should spend no more than 31% of your monthly income on your mortgage, property tax, and insurance. In addition, you should spend no more than 54.99% (DTI) of your income on total debt payments, including student loans, car loans, and credit card debt.
