Are FHA loans often rejected at underwriting?

Actually, it happens all the time. So yes, your FHA loan can still be denied or turned down even though a lender pre-approved it. It is quite common for mortgage loans to be rejected during underwriting. This is the point of this process.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), you need a credit score of at least 500 to be eligible for an FHA loan. If you fall far below this range, you may be denied an FHA loan. In fact, bad credit is one of the most common reasons for denial, for any type of mortgage loan.

Although rare, the short answer is yes. After your loan has been deemed "clear to close," your lender will update your credit and check your employment status one more time. Even if you left your job for another job with equal pay, your loan could still be denied or delayed, depending on the type of loan you have.

What if I get fired before closing?

Absolutely. You should tell your lender about the job loss, as the lender is likely to find out anyway. Lenders verify occupancy often up until the day before the funds are transferred for closing. Once you tell the lender, they will work with you to determine if you can still get the loan or if you will be denied.

Typically, mortgage lenders perform a "Verbal Verification of Employment" (VVOE) within 10 days of closing your loan, meaning they call your current employer to verify that you're still working for them.
