Right now, VA loans are becoming more and more popular than ever. Especially since many of our troops are coming home from the last 10 years of war. A VA Loan is a home loan designed to help soldiers (or those who have an honorable discharge) buy a home. VA loans require ZERO down-payment, and NO PMI insurance. The loan offers 100% financing.  If any real estate agents out there have a client who is a current or former soldier, encourage them to look into a VA loan. If they're not sure how to get started, here are some tips on your Raytown Missouri VA Loan Eligibilityrequirements:  1. Obtain a certificate of eligibility (COE) for a VA Loan (or a DD214)  Each applicant must show proof that they are either current or retired military.

ATTENTION BUYERS!!! How HUD & the FHA can help you become a homeowner   FHA might be just what you need. Your down payment can be as low as 3% of the purchase price, and most of your closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. FHA, the Federal Housing Administration, is an agency within HUD, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. FHA was established in 1934 to advance opportunities for lower- and moderate-income American families to own homes. By providing private lenders with mortgage insurance, the FHA gives that lender the security they need to lend to first-time buyers who might not be able to qualify for conventional loans. The FHA has helped more than 26 million Americans buy a home. To qualify with the FHA, you don't need perfect credit or a high-paying job... 04/12/2010

Municipalities across the nation are seeing those vacancies as opportunities for change, often turning them into senior centers, libraries, recreational facilities and ev... 03/14/2010
