There is really no minimum length of time that a borrower must have held a job for them to be qualified for a FHA loan. It is however imperative that you do have a source of income to present to the lender if you are planning to obtain a loan this may include disability, retirement, social security, alimony or child support and self employed income.

Your  application will be labelled as "expected to continue" which means that you can pay the mortgage, surely, for the first three years.

In the case of your second question, the minimum length of time is the most recent two years you have been with your employer. The history will include your overall income, taxable and non-taxable income, Overtime or bomus incomes, tax returns and retirement funds set aside
by the employer. Make sure that you do not have any negative reports on your employment records as this may become grounds for a denial of your loan.
