FHA Loans is Once Again a Winner
Posted on | December 12, 2008 | No Comments
Not long ago, loan officers were laughed at if they recommended their clients go with a FHA loan. Most Realtors and customers alike were under the impression that a FHA loan was harder to close and harder to get an appraisal approved. Though that was true at one time, over the last three to five years FHA has been slowly changing into a very viable and competitive loan for first time homeowners as well as those looking to refinance at the lower interest rates.
Here are just a few things about FHA to consider when looking into loans.
- Interest Rates are competitive
- Mortgage Insurance factor is lower
- Currently has a higher cash out ratio
- Currently has less restrictions and cost associated with credit scores
- Appraisals are equivalent to conventional appraisals
- Required to put less money down
Any of these can change tomorrow so you will need to stay in touch with your loan officer and make sure these guidelines are still in effect.
