FINANCING
Unless you're planning to purchase the property outright with cash, financing will be necessary. Fortunately, there's a wide array of loan options and programs available to assist you in this process, including FHA, VA, and Conventional loans, among others. Additionally, programs such as the Down Payment Assistance Program and considerations like Fixed Rate Vs. Adjustable Rate (ARMs) can significantly impact your financing choices.
Familiarizing yourself with these various types and options is essential. We highly recommend consulting with a trusted lender who can expertly guide you through the intricacies of each option.
Below, we've provided an overview of some of the most common types of loans to help you get started.
CONVENTIONAL
Conventional loans are a popular choice for many homebuyers with good amount of savings and good credit score. These loans typically require a down payment of at least 3% to 20% of the home's purchase price and are offered by private lenders. These loans do not require Mortgage Insurance.
USDA
Issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA loans are designed to help homebuyers in rural and suburban areas. They offer low-interest rates and require no down payment for eligible properties. This type of loan is not just for rural areas or farms, check if the home you're interested in qualifies Here
FHA
Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans are designed to help first-time homebuyers and those with less-than-perfect credit. They often require a lower down payment of anywhere from 0% and have more flexible qualification criteria.
JUMBO
If you're purchasing a high-value property that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you may need a jumbo loan. These loans are available for larger loan amounts but typically require higher credit scores and larger down payments.
VA
Available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses, VA loans offer competitive interest rates and require no down payment in most cases. They are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
