How does WHEDA calculate credit ratios when the property is a duplex? Top of Page

We treat the rent from the non-owner-occupied unit differently depending on the amount of the down payment.

If the down payment is 5% or more, subtract 75% of the rent from PITI before calculating ratios.

If the down payment is 3%, your customer must be able to meet the credit ratios without consideration of rent from the other unit.


Once I lock the WHEDA Home mortgage loan interest rate, how long is the rate good? Top of Page

You have 45 days from the date of rate lock to submit the complete loan application package. Once the loan application is approved, you must close the loan within 60 days.


Can my client add the cost of repairs into the loan amount? Top of Page

Yes, you can add the cost of the repairs to the purchase price and have the property appraised as if the repairs had been completed. For example, if the purchase price is $50,000 and the repairs will be $5,000, you'd use the total of $55,000 to determine the loan-to-value ratio. If the property doesn't appraise out to the new total, the maximum mortgage amount would be based on the purchase price or appraised value, whichever value is lower.
