Your Down Payment Options By Loan Program…

I have borrowers ask me every day how much they need to put down to purchase a home.  Here are your minimum down payment options on the loan products currently available in the marketplace.

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.  No monthly MI.  Mainly for rural areas or smaller downs.  Has geographic and income restrictions.

FHA:  The minimum down payment is 3.5%.  Great rates, low monthly MI.

Fannie Mae Flex 97:  3% down.  Higher monthly MI.  This one has a bit higher rate than FHA.

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 great rate and you will have multiple loan choices.

Have a good day, and thanks for reading!
