Sincerely Yours,

Matthew Thomas

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FHA?

FHA Loans Facilitate Home Ownership

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) program first began in 1934 in an effort to encourage home ownership despite the difficult economic times of the era. The program enables consumers who may not qualify for a standard loan to obtain the financing they need to purchase a home without income limitations.

FHA loans differ from typical loans in that they are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which is a part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Because this insurance reduces the lender's risk on the loan, lenders have greater flexibility with regard to approving loans. For example, FHA loans are not credit-score driven, so a client may be able to obtain a loan despite having had credit problems or even a bankruptcy in the past. Alternati vely, if a consumer does not have a traditional credit history, it is still possible to obtain financing by documenting payment histories on items such as rent and utilities.

FHA loans also provide added flexibility when it comes to closing costs and the down payment. Many of the closing costs can be incorporated into the loan, and a down payment of less than 3% of the purchase price is required. The down payment may be obtained as a gift from a family member or through a down-payment assistance program. FHA loans are processed just like any other loan, and they provide a wonderful opportunity for consumers who are seeking to achieve home ownership!

So ask about a FHA loan today!!

Though MBS were not quite as thinly traded as treasuries (lowest volume since the first trading day of 2010), the picture wasn't much better. At least that which is at risk on low volume days--volatility due to the trading that actually happens comprising a larger portion of th...Read More
 
Housing Needs Job Creation. What Sort of Jobs Though?

Posted To: Voice of Housing

Mr. O’Reilly (December 01, 2009) claims that the “new” root cause of the housing crisis is the (lack of) “jobs, jobs, jobs.” So the solution to the crisis must be (the creation of) “jobs, jobs, jobs.” I agree. But the next...Read More

This was the half time scene in Miami last night at Super Bowl XLIV... I am sure many watchers were thinking: Why The Who? Maybe some of us in our 60s and 70s need to be “put out to pasture” or start “whittling wood” on the front porch. However, as a boo...Read More
