Frequently Asked Questions

How do Social Security recipients qualify for mortgages on fixed income?
Social Security income qualifies for all mortgage types (FHA, conventional, VA, USDA) without a 3-year continuity requirement — it is permanent income. Gross up: if Social Security is non-taxable (combined income below $25,000 single / $32,000 married filing jointly), lenders can gross up the benefit by 25% for qualifying purposes — a $2,000/month SS deposit becomes $2,500/month qualifying income. Export 2–3 months of bank statements showing consistent SSA deposits alongside the SSA Benefit Verification Letter confirming the benefit amount.
Can retirees with only Social Security income qualify for a mortgage?
Yes, if the benefit amount supports the debt-to-income ratio. FHA allows DTI up to 57% in some cases — a $2,000/month SS benefit grossed up to $2,500 supports approximately $1,425/month in total debt payments (at 57% DTI). For a $150,000–$200,000 home with 10–20% down, this may be workable depending on local property taxes and insurance. Export bank statements to show the SS deposit history and any supplemental pension or investment income.
