This is a loan which carries a second mortgage for up to 15% of the purchase price of the property. It is usually used when wishing to avoid PMI insurance or to keep your first mortgage under the FNMA/FHLMC limit to avoid Jumbo rates. The borrower puts down a 5% down payment and then finances a first mortgage up to the FNMA/FHLMC limit and a second mortgage of up to 15% of the purchase price. Other variations are 80/10/10 or 75/15/10.
Backed by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development this mortgage offers the borrower the ability to put as little a 3% down payment and they can even finance “allowable” closing costs. Seller can contribute up to 6% of the purchase price to the buyer towards closing costs.
Same as FHA above but with the ability to finance home improvements that are needed. One mortgage is given based on the value plus improvements up to 115% of the future value. These improvements must be over $5000 and can be for a new kitchen, new bathroom, to add a garage or to structurally improve the property. They cannot be to add a swimming pool etc…
Backed by the Veterans Administration and the federal government it is similar to FHA except that you have to be a qualified Veteran or military person.
Offers 30 and 15 year fixed rate mortgage and competitive ARM products with full document, alternate documentation and limited documentation.
Cash out and No cash out refinance are allowable. Single family detached, Condo’s, PUD’s and single-family second homes can be financed with no prepayment penalty.
0% Down payment required and closing costs can be financed up to 105% of the purchase price. Only single-family homes that will be owner occupied are eligible. First time home buyer status not required and there are no income limits.
Same as above only the borrower pays for closing costs or can have the seller contribute up to 6% towards closing costs.
Loans where your income is not requested or verified with as little as 10% down are stated income loans. There are several varieties of the “no-doc” loan today. Basically the type of loan that is best suited for a particular borrower depends on that borrower’s situation. Some borrowers choose not to disclose employment, income or asset information, while others may be willing to disclose employment and asset information but not income. Still others might be willing to disclose even income but select a program that doesn’t calculate debt-to-income ratios allowing those borrowers to exceed the traditional guidelines in order to qualify for a larger mortgage amount. With all the different variations of the no-doc loan, there is definitely a mortgage program for today’s non-conventional borrowers.
Shorter term adjustable rate mortgage where borrower is not required to make payment on the principal.
Similar to FHA but without maximum mortgage amount limitations. Must be a single family, owner occupied home and borrower must have a credit score of over 680.
These mortgages are for the credit challenged. They can vary from slightly damaged credit to severely damaged. Whatever the situation we have a mortgage that will get you back on track.
Subordinate to the first mortgage these loans offer the borrower the ability to get money for home improvement, debt consolidation or many other reasons without disturbing their first mortgage. Convenient when you have a low interest first mortgage.
Same as above but the 2nd mortgage we will lend up to 125% of the value of the home.
Borrowers having the ratio of their monthly bills to their monthly income higher than 50% is considered a high debt ratio. Loan programs are available for these borrowers, allowing them to finance the purchase of a home or property.
Building a new home can be an exciting prospect – unless you get caught up in a construction loan approval process that’s overly complicated and time consuming. With this loan we will finance up to 90% of the cost of land plus the costs of construction. We offer a one time fixed rate closing or the traditional ARM products.
