The fact that the US has 3.9 million homes for sale and most of them coming from foreclosures means that newer, more efficient Home Loans must be offered. The truth is, getting a home loan is easier now than before the Real Estate boom, you just need to look in the right place. In the following article I will tell you where to look for the lowest interest rates, and well as what the banks will be looking for when qualifying you.
Specifically ask for Government Loans such as FHA or VA
In order to resolve some mysticism, and shed light on this shady subject I inform my clients that they should specifically ask for Government Loans such as FHA or VA (Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Administration.) I say this because the government has poured money into these departments and are eager to create revenue by lending it out in Home Loans.
For instance, FHA offers First Time Home Buyer Programs, Loans that allow 3 or more borrowers, Little or No Money Down Programs, and offer the lowest Interest Rates in the country backed by the Federal Government. FHA is a great place to look for Financing as they are rewriting the book on Stable and Sustainable financing of Homes now and for the future. You will stay ahead of the curve by empowering yourself with knowledge of specific programs, and the constant changes that are made on Government Loans. So now that you know where to look, what will determine whether you qualify or not?
The first place to start is getting with a quality professional Loan Officer, and or Realtor that specializes in Government Loans. What they will tell you is that the banks are looking for Credit, Capacity to pay back, and Collateral such 401k, or cash on hand. I suggest using a local Loan Officer to help you establish your credit scores, procure paperwork, and calculate payments. Since most Loan officers work on commission only, they are free of charge to start, and are usually very savvy and eager professionals. (For a list of Loan Officers I work with and recommend, please contact me) These 3 C's of Financing are the most widely and acceptable terms to Finance Professionals and speaking the same language of professionals is the best way to make sure you gather all the proper facts.
So now that you know where, and what to look for, get out there and see what is for sale. I bet you will be amazed by the price, and it may even be cheaper than the rent you currently paying. Make sure you consult a professional, speak the same language, and ask for Government backed Loans.
* If you have been a victim of Loan Fraud and or Foreclosure please contact me, as I am able to modify your loan, or register you to fix your credit in a credit rehab program. In most cases you only have to wait 1 year after a Bankrupt or Foreclosure to purchase.
