What is a Government Loan?
A number of loan programs are sponsored by the federal government to assist American families to become homeowners. The programs are structured to insure various loan types, allowing lenders to approve loans for more people. The most popular government backed loan programs are the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan program and the Veterans Administration guaranteed loan program. We can help you determine if you qualify for these very helpful loan programs and walk you through the loan application process.

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Loans
FHA loan programs are designed primarily for first-time home buyers and others with moderate incomes that have not yet been able to save the cash needed for down payment amounts. A program insurance charge is rolled into the monthly payment amount to support this program and typically ends as the loan is paid down over time. A variety of loans are offered through FHA programs, including fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages for single-family homes, multi-family homes, condominiums and other home types.

 
 
 
  Down payments as low as 3.5% of sales price
  Limited closing costs – many can be added into your loan
  100% of closing costs can be gifts from relatives or others
  No minimum credit score requirements
  Ability to finance home rehabilitation and energy efficiency improvements
  Growing Equity Mortgages–low initial payments that grow with your income
  No prepayment penalties
  Refinance programs with streamlined documentation
 

Our loan officers are experienced in helping veterans determine their eligibility for VA loan programs, ordering VA assigned appraisals, and guiding the loan approval process.

 
 

European Concerns Increase

Increased concerns about Europe helped mortgage rates improve this week, although the impact of the recently passed extension to the payroll tax reduction is beginning to push up mortgage rates for certain loans (discussed below).

The news from Europe was mostly negative this week. Economic growth in Germany was slower than expected. Negotiations on restructuring Greek debt did not progress as planned, increasing the risk of default. S&P is downgrading the debt of several European countries, including France. Finally, the European Central Bank (ECB) provided no relief, as it gave no indication that it would increase the level of aid available to troubled countries. As a result, investors shifted funds to relatively safer investments, including US mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which helped mortgage rates move lower.

The recently passed extension to the temporary payroll tax reduction contained a lightly publicized revenue raising provision to increase the guarantee fees charged on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. This fee results in higher rates for borrowers, and mortgage rates for loans not expected to close within the next month or so have begun to reflect this coming increase in guarantee fees.
