Mortgage Information
You should have a detailed discussion about your personal circumstances with your loan officer to determine the best loan for you.
Generally speaking, your credit score needs to be at 640. However, there are exceptions to that rule so make sure you discuss it with the loan officer!
We have multiple loan options to get into your new home with ZERO MONEY DOWN. However, even though the loan is 100% financed, you have still required to front the funds for earnest money (generally 1% of sales price), option fee (generally $100), and inspections (generally range from $400-$700).
Below is a very brief summary of some mortgage and loan types. Again, for more detailed information, please contact a loan officer directly.
