down payment assistance for conventional loan

FHA loans these days are have much lower interest rates than conventional loans, but for most people, they also have much higher mortgage insurance costs. FHA requires at least 3.50% down payment, which conventional usually is a minimum of 5%. Most states have HFA downpayment assistance programs for those who qualify. Here in MN, I can offer a conventional loan with just 3% down payment - AND, you can possibly also get downpayment assistance too. Contact a loan officer in you area for most assistance - or ask your existing loan officer about these options. In MN, visit www.MNHomesAndLoans.com
