FHA is now the best financing for entry level buyers
April 1, 2008 at 3:58 am Leave a comment
The credit crisis has all but eliminated 100% financing for most buyers. If you can get the 100% financing you will pay a heavy mortgage insurance fee each month. The best option is now to get qualified for an FHA loan. These loans are about 1/2 a percentage point less in interest than conventional 100% loans. The standard FHA loan requires the buyer to put 3% down, but allows the sellers to pay some of the buyers closing costs.
For more information on the types and the benefits of FHA loans go to their website.
