%REPLIES% Answer Yes, let's say you have a down payment of 8%. You would take out a mortgage for 80% of the value of the home. You would then take out either a second mortgage or home equity loan for 12% of the value of the home.
You avoid paying PMI, but your second loan is usually a 15 year loan with a flexible interest rate of prime + 1.5 so your monthly payment will vary depending on where prime is. There are other ways, such as an FHA loan as well Answer Another possibility depending on the relationship between buyer and seller You can do a "sellers held back 2nd mortgage". A sellers 2nd is basically just like any other 2nd mortgage but it is held by the person selling the property, it's a lien like any other mortgage against the home.
The buyer and seller set up a payment plan for a 3 of years and interest rate and it is included in the sales contract. This benefits people with poor credit who can't obtain enough financing, say you need 90% but you only qualify for 80%. Then you can get that extra 10% through a sellers 2nd.
The seller ofcourse must agree to it and the bank must also ofcourse allow sellers seconds The other option is a "Gift Of Equity A GOE can be done between family members, it's like a sellers second except you don't pay back the GOE The example is basically, you need 90% you qualify for 70%. The seller gives you 20% of the equity of the home as a gift, so on a 100,000 dollar home it works like this. They are not lowering the sales price, the price stays at 100,000 but they give you 20,000 as a gift of equity.So while you only qualified for 70,000 from the bank that gift of equity has now given you the ability to purchase the home without laying out anything about your 10% The catch is that this can only be done between blood relatives.
FHA loans have been helping people become homeowners since 1934. How do we do it? The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) - which is part of HUD - insures the loan, so your lender can offer you a better deal.
What does FHA have for you? Buying your first home? FHA might be just what you need.
Your down payment can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, and most of your closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. Available on 1-4 unit properties. Want a fixer-upper?
FHA has a loan that allows you to buy a home, fix it up, and include all the costs in one loan. Or, if you own a home that you want to re-model or repair, you can refinance what you owe and add the cost of repairs - all in one loan. Are you 62 or older?
Do you live in your home? Do you own it outright or have a low loan balance? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then the FHA Reverse Mortgage might be right for you.
It lets you convert a portion of your equity into cash. Want to make your home more energy efficient? You can include the costs of energy improvements into an FHA Energy-Efficient Mortgage.
How about manufactured housing and mobile homes? Yes, FHA has financing for mobile homes and factory-built housing. We have two loan products - one for those who own the land that the home is on and another for mobile homes that are - or will be - located in mobile home parks.
Ask an FHA lender to tell you more about FHA loan products. Need help with your downpayment? State and local governments offer programs that can help.
