Conventional Loans
One of the most common loan programs that offers competitive interest rates and requires down payment of 20%. Standard documentation and fair-to-good credit score are necessary to qualify.
VA Loans
Offering Veterans, US Military service members and eligible surviving spouses benefits through a VA loan program. Loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, no down payment or mortgage insurance required. The VA guaranty gives lenders greater degree of safety and flexibility which result in more competitive interest rates than non-VA loans.
FHA Loans
Insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Offers down payment as low as 3.5% in addition to a less stringent qualification process which is an attractive option to first time homebuyers. To protect lenders from a loss if the borrower should default, mortgage insurance premium is required on all FHA loans as well as mandatory collection of property taxes and homeowner’s insurance premiums in an Escrow Account.
Rural Housing Loans (USDA)
Government backed loans, lending up to 100% of the home’s appraised value. Qualifying properties must be located in USDA defined rural areas and communities to be eligible for USDA loan programs.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS)
Adjustable rate mortgages offer lower initial interest rate in comparison to fixed-rate mortgages. Cap limits moderate how much the interest rate can change from one year to the next.
