Dan, I was trying to find in FHA guidelines where it state you can boorower money but wasnt able to. but to the best of my knowledge you can borrower the down payment. You have to show a paper trail of the money and factor the repayment into your debt obligation. Find a local lender before you transfer any money to show you how to structer this but it can be done, most lender may not like thou.

Dan,
Good Afternoon!! You are not allowed to borrow money to obtain a loan. You can get a gift of money from an immediate family member. You will need the to sign a gift letter document. You loan officer can explain how this works. You can also ask a seller to contribute up to 6% of your closing costs, although most will only contribute up to 3%. If you need the assistance of a buyers agent to locate a new home give me a call and I'll be happy to help.
