Conventional Loans For the first time, a large number of lenders have begun offering 100% financing at near-market rates to conventional borrowers. These no money down mortgages are targeted toward people with good credit but not a lot of cash. While the rates are only slightly higher, these loans come with much higher private mortgage insurance (PMI) that will make a noticeable difference in the monthly payments.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) FHA programs have easier qualifying guidelines and they allow a home purchase two years after a bankruptcy and three years after a foreclosure, in addition to allowing higher debt ratios than other home loan programs. The following are some of the zero down loans offered by FHA: . CHDAP - 100% financing option for first time buyers in California. . Nehemiah - 100% financing option provided by Non-profit organization. . HART - 100% financing option provided by Non-profit organization. . CHFA Loans (CHAFA) - 100% financing option for first time buyers in California. . Access 2000 - 102% financing option for first time buyers.
Veterans Administration The Veterans Administration offers no money down mortgages to active duty military and military veterans, but others may also qualify. Check with your local Veterans Administration for details.
The only drawback to FHA and VA loans is that the mortgage insurance premium (MIP) isn't canceled when your equity reaches a target level. It remains for the life of the loan.
80-20 Home Loans If you don't qualify for VA or FHA and your credit score isn't high enough for 100% conventional financing, you can still get 100% financing through a piggyback loan, typically referred to as 80-20 home loans, among other terms. This entails taking out two mortgages, typically through the same lender-a first for 80% of the purchase price and a second mortgage for the other 20%. No private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required, either. Second mortgages are the key for the loan amounts above 80%.
Bridge Mortgages suggests comparing rates for refinance loans. Refinancing your mortgage will enable you to lower payments, and possibly reduce the interest rate. There are many benefits to refinancing, but the most compelling reason to revise your mortgage is simply to save money.
