  Which Government Backed Home Loan Is Best Suited For Purchasing My New Home? If you want a loan with a No Money Down Option then you must be a veteran or you must purchase a home in a HUD Approved Area for Rural Housing. The VA and USDA Loan are the only type loans that offer the No Down Payment Option for buying a home. The FHA loan is the most popular type loan at this time because the down payment requirement is only 3.5% compared to the Conventional Loans which require 5% down. Both require the added cost of Mortgage Insurance any time less than 20% down is used. The VA and USDA Loans do not require mortgage Insurance but have a funding fee that is financed into the loan. The USDA funding fee is currently 3.5% but expected to rise with the growing number of defaults. The VA fundin...

Ever notice how sometimes when the Feds cut rates, mortgage rates go up?  Me, too.  This is a great explanation as to why this happens.  It is a great article to use with those customers on the fence over continued drops in price.  If the rates go up and the price goes down; there is no upside for the buyer.  Now is the time to buy.  New Home prices are low, incentives are high and rates, although closing, are still near all-time lows.  Check it out and see what you think.

This is a great article from Inman News.  With all of the negativity we see in the media, this is a refreshing look at the good that is available for buyers in the market place.  Although some of the negativity is rightly attached to this declining market, sometimes it is necessary to look at the "little picture" to see the "big picture".  Earlier this year Dave Ramsey, financial author and Radio Talk Show host, was on CNN Larry King Live touting what a great buy Tampa Bay housing is right now. He was on The CBS Morning Show this week again commenting on the real estate market from Nashville Tenn. He said "There is no longer a national real estate market.  We are made up of local real estate markets which may be completely different."  He further said, "If I was in Tampa, Florida and I ...
