FHA Mortgage Maximum Limit for Raleigh Cary Wake County is $295,000 with only a 3.5% Down Payment IMPORTANT: Three significant changes are coming this Spring/Summer to FHA Loans and are three legitimate reasons to complete your home buying early in 2010, if you are financing with an FHA Loan:
1) PMI (mortgage insurance premium) will increase
2) Those with credit scores BELOW 580 must have a 10% down payment and
3) Sellers' concessions (closing costs paid by Sellers, etc) will decrease to 3% (currently limited to 6%).
RATES UPDATE! It is a given that once the Fed ceases its Mortgage Backed Security purchases, that interest rates will climb significantly higher...most likely back above the 6% area. So instead of a hard transition with a large bump in rates, the Fed is attempting to allow rates to gradually rise. This means that waiting to purchase or refinance will very likely mean a higher interest rate. - Sheri Rimel
USDA Rural Housing Direct Loans Rural Housing Direct Loans are loans that are directly funded by the Government. These loans are available for low- and very low-income households to obtain homeownership. Applicants may obtain 100% financing to purchase an existing dwelling, purchase a site and construct a dwelling, or purchase newly constructed dwellings located in rural areas. Mortgage payments are based on the household's adjusted income. These loans are commonly referred to as Section 502 Direct Loans. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, which are typically within 22 to 26 percent of an applicant's income. However, payment subsidy is available to applicants to enhance repayment ability. Applicants must be unable to obtain credit elsewhere, yet have reasonable credit histories. Decisions within 30 days! For more information, call Mark at 919-796-7919.
SmartMoney says...
- Prepare to pounce on great rates.
Analysts agree: Current rates are very attractive, and they aren't going to rise anytime soon, thanks to government efforts. - Rates fluctuate daily based on any number of market factors.
Whether you're considering buying or refinancing, pull together your financial paperwork, including federal tax returns, investment records and proof of income, so you can jump on good rates immediately.
- Polish your credit score.
The almighty credit score is king these days, and it will continue to be. The more favorable mortgage rates will be reserved solely for those with the very best credit scores - at least a 740 on the 300 to 850-point scale. That's all the more reason to build up your credit and avoid mistakes that could trash your score, like late payments and big balances.
