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.

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.

There could be more opportunities on the table for your clients!

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has just raised its loan limit by 18% to a maximum amount of $420,680 in most areas. In certain high cost areas, it’s $970,800. Limits will take effect in 2022.

This means your buyers can take advantage of FHA program benefits, including:
  • Low down payment options
  • Lower total cash-to-close requirements with gift or seller contributions
  • Ability to combine purchase and rehab financing
  • In some high-cost areas, higher loan limits than conventional mortgages
In some lower-cost areas or those with higher costs of construction, limits will vary.

If you or your clients have any questions about FHA programs or limits in our area, please reach out. I’ll be glad to help!
