Picking a Program:

 

Many first time buyers are told by their Realtor, friends, family members, or read online about a program they think is good for them, or they may qualify for. They may be right... But we think it is prudent to let our highly trained, and licensed Loan Officer review your full information, then professionally zero in on the best programs for your individual situation.

 

FHA Loans:

 

The very popular FHA Loan in MN only requires 3.50% of the purchase price for down payment. This money can be your own, a gift from a family member, or combined with down payment assistance loans. FHA loans are federally insured loans that allow buyers who have weaker credit history, coupled with limited funds available for down payment, to obtain a mortgage with a great interest rate and low monthly payments.

 

VA Loans:

 

VA loans are awesome. They offer zero down payment, and closing costs can be rolled into the loan, making for 100% financing. Of course VA Loans are only for active and former military personal. You need your VA Certificate of Eligibility, but in most cases, we can get that for you. In addition to no down payment, VA home loans have the added benefit of not requiring PMI (private mortgage insurance), which amounts to a HUGE savings over other loans.

 

USDA Rural Development Loans:

 

Rural Development home loans are optimal for first time homeowners in approved Rural Housing Service areas. USDA rural housing loan programs allow qualified homebuyers to get loans with minimal closing costs and no down payment. The purpose of this loan program is to enable eligible low and moderate income (up to 115 percent of the Area Median Family Income) rural residents to acquire modestly priced housing for their own use as a primary residence. The Rural Development Housing Loans also have flexible credit standards, expanded qualifying ratios, no maximum purchase price limits and generous income limits. Closing costs can be rolled into the loan too.

 

MHFA - The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.

 

If you qualify, programs like Start Up and Step Up will provide you with down payment assistance in MN. Many people qualify for $3000 - $5000 worth of down payment assistance. Some people, even more! Call today to see if you qualify for assistance.

Your plain vanilla everyday loan. Available in fixed, adjustable, and any loan term from 8-years to 30-years, with the 30-year fixed being the most popular. Conventional loans need at least 5% down payment. Also available for buying or refinancing second homes and investment properties.

 

Purchase or Refinance:

 

All of these loans are available for buying a home, or refinancing your existing home. FHA and VA both offer a streamline refinance with reduced documentation, and the possibility of no appraisal.

 

No Down Payment:

 

No down payment home loans enable those who have not been able to save for a down payment to realize the dream of home ownership. We offer two mortgage programs with no money down 100% financing, and another program that requires only 3.5% down for all Minnesota and Wisconsin residents.
