FHA Loans vs. Conventional Loans: How to Tell the Difference Overwhelmed with the prospect of buying a home? FHA loans and conventional loans are likely two sources of financing that you’ve considered. Let First Bank help you understand these options and come to a conclusion about which best suits your needs and budget. After all, choosing the right loan is key for timely, affordable payments. Choose the Right Loan with First Bank If you’re a first-time homebuyer or interested in purchasing your second home, there are different qualifications for each loan you should consider: FHA loans—The FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by approved lenders. Single and multi-family homes in the United States (and U.S. territories) can qualify. First Bank can help put you on the right track to securing one of these loans. The advantages of an FHA loan can be: Owing a lesser down payment, as low as 3.5%. Enjoying quicker eligibility following a major credit issue such as bankruptcy or foreclosure. Allowing a co-applicant to help you get the loan, even if you don’t live in the same household. Conventional Loans—A non-government insured loan that can be used with a second home purchase or an investment. Unlike FHA loans, conventional loans can require a higher credit score (often a minimum of 640), but they can have some major advantages for you. Conventional loans can allow: A risk-based premium, unlike FHA where one set premium rate is required from everybody, MI if applicable. Your monthly payments to be lower, even if you have a higher interest rate. Your loan to cover a higher loan amount. You to cover different types of loans like, investment or second home (FHA doesn’t do those types). When considering an FHA loan versus a conventional loan, keep in mind that conventional loans are not affiliated or insured with the government like FHA loans. Additionally, an FHA requires mortgage insurance and conventional loans do not, unless the LTV exceeds 80%. There is an upfront MI premium (1.75%) that is required on FHA loans that is not required on Conventional loans. For a more detailed look at FHA loans versus conventional loans, or assistance with applying, call or meet with your local mortgage loan professionals. *Loans subject to credit approval. 3 min read
10-Step Program for First-Time Homebuyers If you’re searching for a first-time homebuyer program, it’s important to find a process that is simple and clear. Purchasing a home for the first time is a significant event, so it’s also a process that requires you to be well-informed and careful. In an article by award-winning writer Gina Roberts-Grey, she outlined the top 10 steps all first-time home buyers must consider before taking the plunge: “Review your financial health”—Before you dive into listings and open houses, it’s vital that you evaluate your financial situation. This ranges from your savings to your bills to your 401k; you need to be sure you can afford the expense. “Check into benefits for first-time home buyers”—You can discover options, including tax benefits, that can make the property more affordable. Look into what deals you can find as a first-time homebuyer. “Meet with lenders”—Meet with lenders and present your financial and benefit findings. A lender will assess your credit score and the amount you can qualify for on a loan and will discuss your assets (savings, 401(k), etc.) and debt, as well as any local programs that might be available for down payment assistance. “Shop around for a mortgage”—As you’re searching for pre-approval, don’t take the first offer. Spend time looking at what different lenders can offer. And keep in mind that “pre-approved” and “pre-qualified” are two different things. “Have a backup lender”—Many factors can affect whether or not your mortgage application is approved, including market changes and shifting guidelines. A backup lender that qualified you for a mortgage loan can give you an alternate way to keep the process on, or close to, schedule. Find a realtor—If you’ve reached this step, congratulations. This means you’re ready to find a real estate agent. When you’re looking for a realtor, it’s best to look for one who works with a team of people who can offer suggestions about home inspectors, insurance agents, etc. Decide on a neighborhood—Narrow your search area to help give you a better idea of what you want and can afford. Two primary factors to consider are neighborhood taxes and length of commute to work. When you find a property, crunch your numbers again—At this step, you’ve found your dream home 4 min read
