David G. Brown - FINDING THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS

secondary home, or investment property. • FHA—An FHA mortgage is a great program for buyers. Its advantages are a low down payment without private mortgage insurance. The lender process can be streamlined, with no appraisal and reduced loan documentation to qualified applicants. • VA—A VA Mortgage offers many benefits, including no down payment and lower interest rates. • USDA—These are only available in certain areas deemed “rural” by the United States Department of Agriculture. Surprisingly, many properties on the outskirts of a metro area will qualify for these loan programs. The advantages of a USDA Mortgage are lower interest rates and zero down payment. • 3-2-1 or 2-1 Buydown programs - Start at a lower rate for the first year or two allowing you to refinance if the rates get better. Because Guild Motgage is familiar with all these loan programs, they can pre-qualify your buyers and ensure they obtain financing. That way, you avoid wasting time with buyers that will not qualify for financing. Before you sign a contract with a buyer, make sure you give them a call.
