Many Financing Options Available to Purchase Your Dream Home

Types of Loans
FHA loans
FHA loans are loans that you can use to purchase both land and homes. These loans typically require a 3.5% down payment, come with low rates, and allow the borrower to include site preparation and permit costs into the loan. FHA loans usually take longer to administer and come with higher fees when compared to conventional loans. This is primarily due to extra requirements, a lower down payment, inspections, and fees. Chattel loans Chattel loans are loans for personal property and can only be used to finance or purchase a home. With Chattel loans, you will receive a title instead of a deed which differs from conventional mortgages. If the home you plan on buying is on leased property, then this mortgage option may be the only type of financing available. This is the most common type of financing in planned communities because the buyer often does not own the land. These types of loans are useful if the borrower is trying to purchase a home in a mobile home park, put a home on land they do not own, or do not want to tie up their property in a loan. Chattel loans are often easier to qualify for when compared to conventional/FHA loans but the rates are normally higher. Conventional Loans Conventional loans are loans where the home is financed and purchased as real property. This basically means that the home and the land being bought are combined into one loan. These types of loans require a higher down payment at 10% but come with lower rates as a result. Borrowers should take advantage of this type of loan if they have the collateral to meet the 10% down payment and possess good credit. USDA Loans USDA loans do not require a down payment and are designed for and administered specifically to rural areas. Borrowers are only eligible for this type of loan if the location of their house will be in a USDA designated area. Borrowers must have a credit score of 640 better in order to qualify for this loan.
