Homeownership: The Government Loans You Need to Focus On

Look no further, these are the usual prospects.

We’ve talked with a lot of clients for the past 3 years, and they always tell us the same: The real difficulty of having to come up with a down payment, in order to become homeowners more quickly. And that’s a fact, our experts do recommend paying up to 15 to 20 percent down payment, so you can face fewer charges on mortgages and private insurances.

Well, the data tell us something very eye-opening, and it’s that most homebuyers are paying less than 9 percent of the total amount. That’s why more and more people are looking for alternatives, to deal with this challenge. Now, we’ve made the dirty work for you; these are the best government programs that can make a difference for you. Stay close, this is important. 

USDA Loans 

This financial aid is provided by the US Department of Agriculture, destined for those in rural areas, so they can buy homes with no down payment involved. Great for most folks in states like Ohio, Utah, Wisconsin, Delaware, and many others. To be eligible, you must meet their criteria, enter here to know more.

Yes, you won’t have a down payment obligation, but there’s something you should know about, something called “the funding fee”, this is a protection item in case of default, equals to the 1 percent of the whole amount, and you need to pay for it. For example, if the property is valued over $300,000, you’ll pay about $3000. Also, for these types of loans your credit score is not taken into account. 


The VA Loans 

Accessible only for retired and active members of the US Army, known as the Veterans Affairs loan. These can finance a purchase below $500,000, having a lower interest rate than those available on the market, requiring no mortgage insurance and no down payment. The perfect opportunity for our beloved heroes to find the place of their dreams.

The “funding fee” is present here too, but this time it is below 3 percent. Can be paid right away on the first steps of the process, or placed side by side with the overall amount requested. 

Last But Not Least, The FHA Loans 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are a bit complex to handle, because the requirements are more strict, when compared with the previous programs mentioned in this piece. To put in perspective, you’ll need to pay 3.5 percent of the total amount, also your debt-to-income ratio must be below 40 percent, and don’t forget to have a credit score higher than 560.

One great advantage of this program is that you will be able to purchase a home valued up to $700,000, this is not possible when using other government programs. Talking about possibilities, here at AFTHA we can help you identify the best options.
