First Time Home Buyer? FHA Loans are probably your best option

A  FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan money to borrowers; rather, it provides protection through mortgage insurance (MIP) against losses as the result of homeowners defaulting on their mortgage loans. Available to all buyers, FHA loan programs are primarily designed to help low- and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans that adhere to more strict underwriting guidelines. However, there are cases in which borrowers who are eligible for conventional financing would still choose a FHA loan. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those buyers with less available cash as the required down payment is lower than for conventional loans. Rates on FHA loans are also generally lower than conventional Texas mortgage loans. We offer 1st Time Home Buyer's Programs. Call to see if you qualify. 



 
Are you a Texas Vet? Let us help with your VA Home Loan

Texas VA loans are made by VA approved lenders and are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to eligible veterans. The guaranty means the lender is protected against loss if the loan fails to repay. In most cases, no down payment is required on a VA guaranteed loan, and the borrower usually receives a lower interest rate than is ordinarily available with other loans. Mortgage insurance is not required; however, the VA charges a funding fee to issue a guarantee. The fee may be paid in cash by the buyer or seller, or it may be financed in the loan amount or waived if the veteran is disabled. Veterans that are eligible are all active duty, honorably discharged Veterans with 22 months service, or reservists with 6 completed years—or a qualifying combination. A Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Service is required to qualify for the VA loan.

Conventional Loans Up To  $726,200

Conventional mortgage loans in Texas are the most common types of home mortgages, and are insured by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. With down payments as low as 5%, conventional loans offer better terms with lower mortgage insurance costs and rates based on credit rating. Additionally, conventional home loans offer the ability for borrowers to finance multiple properties including second homes as well as investment properties.
 
Jumbo Mortgage Loans Over $726,200

Jumbo / Non-Conforming Mortgages also referred to as Jumbo Mortgages. They are unique in that they are not secured by either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or FHA. These mortgage loans are made possible using private investor programs. This difference means that there is no guarantee provided to the investor, so consequently the mortgage’s guidelines are not standardized and are subject to the investors’ requirements. Typically these guidelines are more restrictive, yet make it possible for larger purchases to be financed at competitive rates.
