union boilermaker for 8 years making 70,000 to 80,000 a year working 6 months a year how do i go about getting a home mortagage?

Got sit down with a local mortgage broker, not a bank. They will take your loan application and walk you through the process, discuss your options, and eventually get you to a closing table where you will be handled the keys to your new home!

The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

To apply for a mortgage, you will need to provide your last 2 years W-2's, a months worth of current paystubs, and last years tax return. If you are purchasing,your middle credit score should be above 640. FHA requires a minumum of 3.5% of the purchase price, plus your closing costs. If you don't have the money for closing costs, you could have your agent structure your offer so that the seller will pay the costs. These are the baseline minimums of a home purchase. After applying for a loan, your loan officer will work with you on the other details required for your loan to be underwritten. There are too many variables to list here.

It shouldn't be an issue as long as it is consistent, you have acceptable credit, your debt ratio's are reasonable and you have the needed downpament and other funds. Pick a reputable, experienced loan officer and company. There are good people at banks and brokers, and there are those who might not be recommended at both types of lenders. IF you get the right person it doesn't matter where they work - there are plenty of horror stories about both. I have a blog on this site "first steps" you might want to check out before you get started. Good luck, let me know if I can help.
