Find Out If You Qualify for Home Possible
Home Possible® is built for income-eligible buyers purchasing or refinancing a primary residence — typically with household income at or below 80% of Area Median Income for the property location.
Underwriters look at income eligibility first. Your household income is compared to the Area Median Income chart for the county where the home sits — not where you currently live. Limits also adjust by household size.
Next come occupancy, credit, and property type. Home Possible requires a primary residence (1–4 units), competitive conventional credit, and a property that meets Freddie Mac eligibility. Manufactured homes and condos can work when project and property guidelines are met.
Ryan and Steve run your numbers against current Freddie Mac AMI charts and Luminate overlays so you know before you shop — not after you have an accepted offer.
Common borrower profiles we pre-approve for Home Possible through Luminate Bank.
