Picking a Mortgage Loan Program:

 

Many first time buyers are told by their Realtor, friends, family members, or read online about a mortgage program they think may be good for them, or a loan program they may qualify for. They may be right... But we think it is prudent to let our highly trained, and fully licensed Loan Officer review your full information, then professionally zero in on the best programs for your individual situation.

 

FHA Loans:

 

The very popular FHA Loan only requires 3.50% of the purchase price for down payment. This money can be your own money, a gift from a family member, combined with a down payment assistance loans, or a combination of all these options. FHA loans are federally insured loans that allow anyone from great credit to weaker credit to obtain a mortgage and become a homeowner. The seller can pay your closing costs, so all you really need is just your down payment.

 

VA Loans:

 

We love VA loans. They offer zero down payment, and closing costs can be rolled into the loan, making for 100% financing. Of course VA Loans are only for active and former military personal. You need your VA Certificate of Eligibility, but in most cases, we can get that for you. In addition to no down payment, VA home loans have the added benefit of not requiring PMI (private mortgage insurance), which amounts to a HUGE savings over other loans.

 

USDA Rural Development Loans:

 

Rural Development home loans are for those looking to buy in rural areas of MN, WI, and SD.  You don't have to live in a cornfield, but they can not be used in major cities like St Paul or Minneapolis.

 

USDA rural housing loan program allows qualified homebuyers to get loans with no down payment. The purpose of this loan program is to enable eligible low and moderate income (up to 115 percent of the Area Median Family Income) rural residents to acquire modestly priced housing for their own use as a primary residence. The Rural Development Housing Loans also have flexible credit standards, expanded qualifying ratios, no maximum purchase price limits and generous income limits. Closing costs can be rolled into the loan too.

All of these loans are available for buying a home, or refinancing your existing home. FHA and VA both offer a streamline refinance with reduced documentation, and the possibility of no appraisal.
