Question : Can I use this as some of our downpayment with an FHA mortgage loan?
My husband and I were both going to cash out a week’s vacation at our jobs. Almost $ 1500. This is to help us come up with cash for our down payment for our FHA mortgage. Is this allowable. I know they have to TRACK our income so they know where it’s coming from. Is that okay, or should we cash the money, and use it for some of our groceries and other expenditures so that it cannot be tracked.

They do not “track” your income, they verify it. As long as you can show your income is sufficient to make the payments plus normal living expenses and you have enough for the down payment, it does not matter if it is vacation money.
