Here in the midwest, the same loan officers who are offering traditional FHA financing seem to be offering a "Wheda" planEssentially it's a secondary loan that you have to put down on your mortgageThe "Wheda" program to my understanding counts other rents as 100% income (Traditionally i think it's 75% or so)The advantage to this loan package is that you will not be paying PMI "Wheda" requires a 5% down payment and the secondary loan is for 3% of that 5, so essentially you get into a piece of property for 2% +\- out of pocketThis was just explained to me this week, I am by no means an expect-- seems like it could be a good gig for owner occupants starting out!
