- Flexible credit guidelines – The borrower is suppose to provide a credit history report but the guidelines are extremely flexible that allow even applicants with a spotty or bad credit to qualify for a home loan.
- No maximum purchase price – There is no maximum purchase price limit but the lender will still determine the amount for which the borrower is eligible depending upon the ability of the borrower to pay.
