Texas Home Lending News

 
Wondering how much to save, Jason?
The amount you need for a down payment on your new home may not be as much as you think!!

Programs are available with some pretty low options.

ZERO
The VA and the USDA both offer a zero down loan program for individuals and/or properties that meet their criteria. Sometimes, loans require little or no cash out of pocket. Some HUD properties are available with as little as $100 down. 

3%
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac conventional loans are available with down payments as low as 3% on single-family homes, including eligible condos, co-ops, and some manufactured homes. Fixed-rate mortgages with up to 30-year terms and ARMs are available.

3.5%
The Federal Housing Administration (or FHA) loan program can allow as little as 3.5% down, and it is more lenient than most other programs on minimum credit scores and other factors. 

Are you surprised at how low you may be able to go? While many believe a 20% down payment is required, you can see now that it’s far from the only option. 

Whether you’ve saved a little or a lot, reach out today, and we’ll work on finding a loan that works for you.

Here's how you may be able to lower your mortgage payment.
If you’re paying PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) because you put less than 20% down on your home loan, you may be eager to get rid of the expense. The details can vary among companies, but here are three basic strategies for eliminating PMI:
  • Pay your principal down. Once your loan amount is 78% of the original cost or appraised value (if you’ve refinanced), contact your loan servicing department for a review. They’ll check to assure you have a good current payment history and credit.
  • Demonstrate Current Value. Contact your loan servicer to request an appraisal, which you will pay for. Your balance will need to fall under the required threshold (typically 75 to 80% based on the age of your loan). Again, credit and payment history are important.
  • Refinance. Your new mortgage will not include PMI if your loan balance is no more than 80% of the appraised value. A refinance may also allow you to lower your rate and payment, access cash, or adjust your loan term.
I’ll be happy to review your options and assist wherever possible to assure your financing is still working for you. Please reach out when you’re ready.

How's your mortgage feeling today?
Interest rates and the mortgage markets can change quickly, so it makes sense to monitor your loan against current conditions regularly. With just a few clicks, you can compare your existing loan to today's sample rates. We update it every weekday, so you can come back and perform your own diagnostic any time.
CHECK YOUR MORTGAGE
I welcome the opportunity to discuss your loan's results or to assist you in any way with your home financing needs. Also, if you have friends, co-workers or family members who would like to receive their own mortgage checkup, please refer them my way. It will be my honor to help.

Thank you for your loyal business and for your referrals!

Give this property flip calculator to your new investors so they can keep coming back, Jason.
When you invest in real estate so you can renovate and resell a property, many factors beyond the initial price and eventual sales price determine how much you might expect to profit.

Here’s an easy calculator to help you make an informed offer on a property you may want to flip. Use it to tabulate your expected expenses, including some you may not have considered. It will help you estimate an expected return on your investment, too.

I hope you find this tool helpful, Jason. If you have questions about the calculator or financing real estate investments in general, please reach out over your preferred channel. I’ll be glad to help.
