Government Loans!

As many of you already know the mortgage world has shifted greatly toward Government programs. Quite awhile ago Flat Branch Mortgage made a concerted effort to specialize in these very programs. These great products are FHA, VA, and USDA. All are top notch and carry great rates. I will briefly highlight a few items on each program.

FHA
  • Low Rates - This program does not carry with it the hefty rate hits that conventional programs do. (5.5% as of today)
  • 3.5% Down payment (Gifts allowed)
  • Non-Occupant Co-Borrowers Allowed
  • Upfront MIP fee is financed into the loan and a reduced monthly MI fee is charged.
  • No Pre-Payment Penalty
  • Fixed Rate

USDA

  • Property Must be USDA Eligible (Click Here to Run an Address)
  • Household Income Must be Eligible (Click Here to Run Income)
  • NO Down Payment (102% Program)
  • Cosmetic Repairs Can Be Built Into The Sales Price (As Long as Home Appraises)
  • Low Rates - This program does not carry with it the hefty rate hits that conventional programs do. (5.25% as of today)
  • 2% Upfront USDA Funding Fee Is Rolled Into the Loan, but NO monthly MI is charged!
  • No Pre-Payment Penalty
  • Fixed Rate

VA

  • You Must Be An Eligible Veteran
  • Low Rates - This program does not carry with it the hefty rate hits that conventional programs do. (5.50% as of today).
  • Upfront MIP Fee is charged, but NO monthly MI is charged.
  • No Pre-Payment Penalty
  • Mortgage can be taken over (or “assumed”) by the buyer when a home is sold.
