There are 3 solid programs available for prospective home buyers seeking 100% financing for a former residence and I will elaborate them in plain English for you. I will give you the basic requirements as well as the pros and cons for each. Don't worry; there will be no quiz at the end of this article.
Fha/Tdhca - The first and most base method is a composition of a proper Fha loan which requires a down cost of 3.5% and down cost assistance funds of up to 4% of the sales price that is offered straight through the Texas branch of Housing and community Affairs (Tdhca). This is typically the easiest scenario to qualify for because Fha guidelines are the most lenient for borrowers with less than excellent credit. Typically if a buyer has a 620 middle credit score or higher and no new collections, fee offs or late pays filed in the last 12 months they have a very good opportunity at getting approved. Tdhca will aid with up to 4% of the sales price that can be utilized for down cost and/or closing costs. They do have their own approval process, income & loan estimate guidelines and must characterize the faultless loan box prior to disbursement of funds. There is a small estimate of funds available for this program so the Tdhca is typically inundated with applications that may or may not be approved. Because of this, median closings when utilizing this program can be on median 45 to 60 days depending on volume and market conditions.
Usda Loan Eligibility
Pros: Great for less than excellent credit, no geographic restrictions, most base program so majority of lenders are customary with closing them, no pre-pay penalty
Cons: 2 dissimilar approval processes, income restrictions apply (can't make too much money), requires mortgage insurance, take longer to close, funds not always available, some pre-pay/recapture restrictions apply
"If you have had credit issues in the past this is your best bet. "
Va loan (Veteran's Administration) - The second most base type of no money down program is the Va loan. The application process for Va financing is no dissimilar from any other type of loan. In fact, the Va application form is the same as that used for Hud/Fha and approved loans. It is similar to Fha in which it is a government backed loan but is for current or previous members of the Armed forces only. It is one loan for 100% of the ageement sales price and has no monthly mortgage assurance prime payment. Like Fha this loan typically requires the buyer have at least a 580 middle credit score or higher and no new collections, fee offs or late pays filed in the last 12 months. The rates are competitive and intimately mirror proper Fha rates. Aside from the credit requirements the borrower must have a Certificate of Eligibility and form Dd-214. The one quirk on this program that can at times throw off the process is that Va has their own estimate ordering system. That means your lender does not order the estimate so it can be hard to gauge estimated value and delivery times. This however can be addressed by having your realtor furnish you with a detailed competitive market analysis before securing a property under contract.
Pros: Great for less than excellent credit, no geographic restrictions, no mortgage assurance payment, competitive rates, lower closing costs, may be assumable, graduated cost available under some conditions
Cons: For veterans only, estimate process can be unpredictable, former residence only
"No brainer here. One of the benefits of forces service."
Usda (Rd) - The third option is one of the least known programs on the market and may be the best if buyers fit the criteria. The United States branch of Agriculture has a Rural Housing assistance that helps furnish enough housing for families in rural amelioration areas. Rural amelioration areas do not always mean hundreds of miles out of town but usually just face the city limits where the citizen begins to taper off. Like Fha and Va this is a government backed loan and not directly funded straight through these government agencies. This moderate income loan program is for the buy of a former residence and can be a single family home, town home or condo; no manufactured homes. It is a true no money down program with one lien only, that is de facto calculated up to 102% of the appraised value of the property and not the sales price. This is helpful in cases where the wholesaler does not want to or cannot pay any closing costs; those fees can be rolled into the loan as long as the loan estimate does not exceed 102% of the appraised value. There is no mortgage assurance required, no max in wholesaler concessions, no retain requirements, not small to firs time home buyers and rates are competitive with Fha & Va. Buyers need to have at least a 620 or higher middle credit score, no unpaid collections, fee offs, tax liens or judgments and no late payments over 30+ days in the last 12 months.
Pros: One lien, no mortgage insurance, no cap in wholesaler concessions, roll in closing costs as needed, max loan estimate based on appraised value, no pre-pay penalty, no recapture conditions, competitive rates
Cons: Geographic & income restrictions apply, not as lenient with previous derogatory credit, income restrictions (can't make too much money)
"If you are finding for a quiet home just face of town and have been relatively just with your credit this is absolutely the way to go."
As I mentioned this is just a real basic record of the 3 no money down loan programs available to prospective home buyers. They each have their own respective qualifying procedures and requirements so please consult with a mighty lender for faultless details and quotes.
