Conventional Loans
You can use conventional loan funds to purchase a primary residence, investment property, or vacation home. A Conventional loan is known as conforming when it meets the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. A mortgage amount that is too large to meet the criteria for a conforming loan is known as a Jumbo Loan or non-conforming loan. If you apply for a conventional mortgage and the house you want to buy exceeds the conforming loan limits, you will need to qualify for a Jumbo Loan.
FHA Loans
FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and make homeownership possible for borrowers who may not have money for large down payments and those with lower FICO scores. Putting less money down means the borrower will pay private mortgage insurance premiums.
VA Loans
Military personnel and veterans have the VA loan as an option. VA loans are government-backed, low-interest, and do not require a down payment or private mortgage insurance (PMI).
USDA Loans
Buyers in rural areas may want to check out USDA loans. These loans are available to individuals and families with low to moderate incomes. Some borrowers may not need a down payment for a USDA loan, but they must select a home in an area eligible for USDA home mortgages.
Get Pre-Approved
The Potempa Team will help you assess your mortgage needs and find the product that is right for you. We help take the stress out of buying a home in Florida by working to get you pre-approved. With pre-approval, you know the amount you can offer for a home, which impresses sellers. You will be confident and prepared when the perfect property for you hits the market.
