Income Guidelines
Buyers only have to income qualify at the time of original purchase
The income limits are based on the taxable gross income of all adults who will be living in the household at the time of purchase, regardless of whether or not they will be on the mortgage. All income is counted, including regular employment wages, plus child support, alimony, social security and disability benefits. Buyers only have to income qualify at the time of original purchase. Their income is never monitored again, and there is no limit on how much they can earn in the future.
