Does the job history from another country matters in USA for an FHA loan?

Posted

Hello, I'm 17, and In 1 year after I finish high school in Romania, my family and I will move to the USA, we have 100k saved up. After the credit score is built I want to get an FHA loan for house hacking, I know that you need a job history to apply, but here is my question "Does the job history from my country matter in the USA as a 17 years old or in general as an adult for an FHA loan? I much appreciate every response.

Welcome. Very cool BP community reaches so far...Two year work history and US tax returns for FHA. Can likely do a foreign national loan with no US credit score usually with 25% down.

Ok thanks, do you have any idea if you need 2 years of work history for the appraisal loan of the house after you rehab it?
