Conventional loans based on FNMA and FHLMC guidelines are offered by independent mortgage companies. Borrowers can choose anywhere between a 10 to a 30-year term with fixed or adjustable rate options.
FHA
A FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is a part of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). FHA loans are designed to make homeownership more accessible to low to moderate income and first-time homebuyers with low down payments and more flexible credit requirements.
TRUE ZERO
True ZERO FHA is a down payment assistance (DPA) loan that provides the homebuyers 100% financing and requires 0% down payment. This is achieved through a first and second mortgage. The amount of the second mortgage is up to 3.5% equal to the lessor of the sales price or the appraised value.
USDA
A USDA mortgage, also known as a USDA Rural Development Loan, is a type of home loan offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to encourage homeownership in rural and suburban areas. No down payment is required, and USDA loans have reduced Mortgage Insurance premiums compared to Conventional Loans.
