Gifts and Grants can be considered towards borrowers funds on certain 3% down conventional loans
March 14, 2011 by Financemyhome · Leave a Comment
Yes, you read that right. I just got an email today from a leading mortgage insurance company that is willing to underwrite this loan. You will need at 740 or better score. But, what an opportunity. In many ways, this is like FHA, but with a little higher credit threshold. The KEY difference, besides credit score, is the lack of an upfront MI (mortgage insurance) premium and as well as a smaller required monthly premium. This product could be a game changer for the MI company and conventional loans.

Yipee-It looks like mortgage insurance will remain deductible for some home buyers. When we look buying a home, you need to consider all aspects. One main one is mortgage financing. There are ways around mortgage insurance by doing split loans-like and 80/10/10 for example or LPMI-which stands for lender paid mortgage insurance-which means the interest rate is higher. Rather than confuse the matter with all the options-some of which may have no bearing on your situation-just give me a call. I would be happy to help you do an analysis so you can make the right choice. Click the link below to read the latest news about MI(mortgage insurance)

FHA Upfront MIP Increasing to 2.25%
April 5, 2010 by Financemyhome · Leave a Comment
Due to an increase in foreclosures, FHA finds itself needing to increase the cost of mortgage insurance. The upfront MIP is increasing from 1.75% to 2.25%. FHA allows borrowers to purchase a home with 3.5% down. The borrowers using FHA often don’t have a lot of reserves or ability to put more down. The lack of financial resources coupled with a shaky economy has led to an increase in foreclosures. The insurance premiums are used to cover the mortgage losses. The monthly insurance cost of .55% of the loan will remain the same.
