Conventional home loans are those not insured by a federal agency, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Conventional options come in many varieties – fixed-rate, ARMs, conforming, non-conforming, jumbo, etc.
As low as 20% down, fixed or adjustable rates, up to a 30 year term, and delayed financing available.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) runs several lending programs that can help homebuyers with limited credit or income, including first-time homebuyers. Government-insured FHA home loans – which come as fixed-rate or ARMs – offer affordable interest rates, a low minimum credit score and a down payment as low as 3.5 percent.
A commercial mortgage is a mortgage loan secured by commercial property, such as an office building, shopping center, industrial warehouse, or apartment complex. The proceeds from a commercial mortgage are typically used to acquire, refinance, or redevelop commercial property.
An FHA 203k loan enables you to borrow money, with just one loan, for both home improvement and a home purchase. 203k loans are guaranteed by the FHA, meaning lenders take less risk when offering this loan. As a result, I tends to be easier to get approved.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers a loan program for rural borrowers who meet certain income requirements. The program is managed by the Rural Housing Service (RHS), which is part of the Department of Agriculture. This type of mortgage loan is offered to "rural residents who have a steady, low or modest income, and yet are unable to obtain adequate housing through conventional financing." Income must be no higher than 115% of the adjusted area median income [AMI]. The AMI varies by county. See the link below for details.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a loan program to military service members and their families.
Similar to the FHA program, these types of mortgages are guaranteed by the federal government. This means the VA will reimburse the lender for any losses that may result from borrower default. The primary advantage of this program (and it's a big one) is that borrowers can receive 100% financing for the purchase of a home. That means no down payment whatsoever.
A portfolio lender is a bank or other lending institution that makes mortgage loans with the intention of holding the loans in their investment portfolios. Portfolio lenders can often offer consumers greater flexibility in the loan granting process, as well as down the road, than lenders who make mortgage loans with the intention of selling them - either immediately or at some time during the term.
