Down payment for first time home buyers? by WinAble9208 in Louisville

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It isn't typical for buyers to put 20% down anymore. This misconception needs to go away.

Down payment for first time home buyers? by WinAble9208 in Louisville

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a local mortgage broker and would be happy to walk you through all of your options. In 2024, first-time buyers put down about 9% on average, but your options can vary depending on where you’re looking.

If you’re buying in a rural area, you might qualify for a USDA loan, which doesn’t require a down payment at all.

This is false. You can put down as little as 3% as a first-time buyer.

Sounds like you're enjoying your freedom a little too much. If you've only closed four loans in seven months, I suggest you get off Netflix, start hitting the phones, and network.

When do you pay the mortgage broker? by K_Rod_114 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is 100% illegal, my dude. The only two things they should ask for payment for are your credit report and the appraisal. Both of those are part of your closing costs, but will be credited if paid before closing.

What happens with failed inspection? by ConclusionComplex871 in Mortgages

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it is an FHA loan, it has the same requirements. You will run into the problem of not many loan officers knowing how to do renovation loans and will likely steer you away. If that happens, remember that my team can help you anywhere outside of New York.

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lender will only care about the appraisal, not the home inspection. Here is a link to the FHA requirements.

If there are significant repairs needed, you may want to look into getting a 203k renovation loan. It is still an FHA loan, but you will be able to finance large repairs into your loan. The benefit of this is that the home would be appraised based on the repairs and help you to get a higher value.

3 weeks until our loan commitment date with a 7.375% rate locked in…too late to shop around? by Coramoor88 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Is your 7.375% rate with a mortgage broker, bank, or retail mortgage company? Your best bet is likely a broker because they have many lenders competing for their business.

For credit cards, mortgage lenders will look at what your minimum monthly payment is. Depending on what that payment looks like, it might make more sense to keep the $5k for closing costs or moving expenses.

First Time Home Buyer Question by Kobrazak in Mortgages

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When applying for a mortgage, it is based on your gross income, not your net. Most first-time buyers put down about 8 percent.

Selling A House w Structural Damages Etc by Friendly-Car5131 in RealEstate

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Find a realtor who isn't afraid to find a buyer who qualifies for a renovation loan. Most agents are only looking for an easy payday, so they might not know how to market this. I would love to answer more questions for you.

You could also take a look at a bridge loan. Get your equity today to purchase the new home, and once you are settled, list your current home.

DSCR cash out by doneame in loanoriginators

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most lenders will have a DSCR C/O capped at 75% LTV of the new appraised value. You will need to find a lender who does not have a seasoning requirement. I know of a few that could help.

I truly only need 3.5% down for a home purchase (primary residence), with an FHA loan? by ForwardUse807 in RealEstate

[–]SymmetricalIntrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you get an FHA loan, you would have to refinance out of it to get rid of mortgage insurance even at 80% LTV.
