CONVENTIONAL LOANS (Fixed / Adjustable Rate)

A conventional mortgage is a loan that is not guaranteed or insured by any government agency. Mortgage insurance is not required if the borrower has 20% equity in the home, yet loans with lower initial equity options are available. Credit score has a big impact on interest rates and qualification. Gift funds are acceptable with conventional financing.

FHA MORTGAGES

FHA loans are a mortgage issued by federally qualified lenders and insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Interest rates are less impacted by credit score. FHA mortgage insurance, however, lasts for the life of the loan. Gift funds are acceptable with FHA financing. The debt to income requirements are less stringent as compared to conventional, which often means more purchasing power.

VA

A VA loan is a mortgage loan program established by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to help veterans and their families
obtain home financing. A VA Certificate of Eligibility is required to apply for a VA loan. Gift funds are acceptable. The debt to income requirements are less stringent as compared to conventional, which often means more purchasing power.

USDA

A USDA home loan from the USDA loan program, also known as the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program, is a mortgage loan offered to rural property owners by the United States Department of Agriculture. There are strict income and property requirements for eligibility. Gift funds are acceptable with USDA financing. The debt to income requirements are more like conventional loans.

REHAB/RENNOVATION

Both Conventional and FHA Rehab loans are available. These loans allow you to finance repairs and renovations made to the property, which can be completed after closing. There are limitations to what repairs can be made that vary based on the product type. There is more upfront paperwork required on these loans and rates are usually higher than regular conventional or FHA loans. If interested in these programs, please set up a consultation to ensure that you fully understand the product and requirements. 

CHFA

CHFA financing is done through The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and offers a variety of loan programs specifically for first time
home buyers. Housing counseling is required. Down payment requirements vary by product and interest rates are less impacted by credit score and down payment assistance is offered if you qualify. Gift funds are acceptable. 

REVERSE MORTGAGES

Reverse mortgages are available to clients age 62 or higher. It allows a homeowner to convert the equity in their home into cash or the ability to draw against a set line of credit. The borrower must remain living in the home and remain current on taxes, home owner’s insurance and HOA fees, if applicable. There are no restrictions on how the proceeds can be used by the borrower.
