What Type of Loan is Best for Me??
CONVENTIONAL loans are the best loans, in terms of
interest rates and fees. Borrowers need
fairly good credit to be approved for a conventional loan. The money saved for the down
payment and
closing costs has to be seasoned in your bank account (in your account for at least 2
months) showing
those funds are yours, and not gifted from a relative. There are some conventional loans
where a relative
can gift the money needed at closing, but the credit for the borrower has to be very
strong. You will need
at least 5% down plus closing costs with a conventional loan.
FHA loan is a great loan, if there are some credit
issues, such as late payments, or if there is higher debt.
If you lack established credit, FHA, may approve you. I would assist you in gathering
alternative
credit documentation. This consist of contacting anyone you may have credit with such as,
the telephone
company, cable company, Public Utilities, your insurance agent ,etc. anyone that can say
you have paid
your bills on time. FHA
loans require only 3.5% down, plus closing costs. (I know how to decrease closing
costs)
CHAFA offers FHA loans with only $1000 needed
from buyers...please note closing costs
need to be paid from the sellers with this loan. Please see their website for

VA loan is a great loan for veterans of the armed forces.
If structured properly the VA loan is the only
loan (besides my unique No Money Down Loan) which allows buyers to close on a house with
NO MONEY
needed. Like FHA, loans, there is also funding fee with all VA loans, which is 2% of the
loan. If a veteran
has used his or her benefits, the funding fee is increased to 3%, the next time they use
their benefit. Having
credit established is not as important on a VA loan, VA will not deny a veteran based on
there is not
enough credit established. If the veteran does not have credit established, I try and line
up alternative
credit documentation. This consist of contacting anyone you may have credit with such as,
the telephone
company, cable company, Public Utilities, your insurance agent ,etc. anyone that can say
you have paid
your bills on time. You need 0% down with a VA loan if structure properly.
