Minimum Down Payment For Various Mortgages…

 The most common question I get from borrowers is “How much will I have to put down to get a mortgage?”

Here are your minimum down payment options on the loan products currently available in the market place.

Loan Programs…

VA loan: No down payment necessary. No monthly MI. This is the best loan going if you can qualify for it.

USDA: No down payment necessary. Low monthly MI. Mainly for rural areas or outlying suburbs. Has geographic and income restrictions.

FHA: The minimum down payment is 3.5%. Great rates, has up front and monthly mortgage insurance.

Conventional: You will need 5% down for Conventional loans.

The bottom line:

1) If you have less than 5% to put down VA and USDA are best if you qualify for them. Otherwise FHA is a wonderful loan program – very friendly to the borrower.

2) If you have 5% or more to put down you can get a Conventional loan, and you will have multiple loan choices.

That’s it for today!

Have a good day! …and thanks for reading.
