Do I qualify for fha?

FHA is 3.5% down with a PMI of .9 % per month added on to the payment. In certian areas the USDA Rural loan program is available for up to 102% financing, and for closing costs you can use up to 6% seller consessions to have a no out of pocket loan for both FHA and USDA in most cases. If you are a veteran VA is also a...

I disagree with Peter, Big Banks are much much more expensive in fees and rates than small lenders as OVERHEAD is the largest cost for a big bank.

The 4.5% rate is a lower payment but has $2500 in fees. For someone with limited cash needed for a down payment and closing costs...
