- Conventional Loans are the most common loan type and are often referred to as Conforming Loans. This loan allows for a low down payment and is available in fixed, adjustable terms (ARM) and Interest only options. If the client puts less than 20% down, this loan may require mortgage insurance which can be removed at a later date as the clients pays down their loan balance. This loan typically requires a 5% down payment but some investors allow only 3% down! This is a great loan for new home buyers who would prefer to put the minimum amount down and maintain a well preserved cash reserve.These loans allow for a 3% seller concession, allowing a seller to pay for 3% of the purchase price towards your closing costs. Conventional loans have a limit not to exceed $453,100 total loan amount in most counties, some counties allow a loan up to $679,650.
- Jumbo loans are used when a client would like a loan which exceeds the conforming loan limits on conventional loans. Jumbo loans are a great option for those looking to secure a fantastic rate on loans which exceed $453,100 in some counties, other counties begin jumbo loans when they exceed $679,650.
- FHA, or Federal Housing Administration loans are great loans for clients looking to buy their first home or who may a first time buyer or may be recovering from a credit event. This loan is more forgiving when it comes to underwriting guidelines which makes it a great option for those rebuilding after a credit or income event. This loan offers a low rate but adds in a mandatory mortgage insurance (MI) policy in order to insure the loan against default; this makes the “effective interest rate” not as attractive as the conventional loan, however these loans are a great option for those who have limited resources. These loans allow for a 6% seller concession, allowing a seller to pay for 6% of the purchase price towards your closing costs..

- Hard money loans can be used in the need of emergency and rely only the equity and use of the home to qualify. They offer fixed interest only rates on short terms for investment properties.
