Who can do the 3% fannie loan?

The 'New' 97% loans are here again and many lenders are now offering them. By the time you are ready, I would expect most, if not all lenders to have them in their portfolio mix. Starting a new job shouldn't be an issue depending on your total job history. I recommend you work with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker rather than one of the big banks or big national mortgage factories. Make sure they do a side-by-side comparison of the both the 95% and 97% loan scenario for you using your scenario. Typically the 97% loan product has been more expensive than a 95% loan (a slightly higher interest rate and a higher PMI factor). Many times when I showed the client the differences, side-by-side, the opted to go with the 95% deal because it proved to be a much cheaper option. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona (AZLO0911876 / AZBK0902429), Washington (WALO40586 / WACL3087) and California (CADOC40586 / CAFLL6036566).

Any Fannie Mae lender, including myself, can now offer the Fannie Mae version of the 3% down conventional loan. The Freddie mac version doesn't start until March 2015. As with all loans, there are various guidelines that need to be met, and just because it is offered, doesn't mean it is the best, or correct loan for you and your situation. Job changes and a move in an of themselves are OK, but there again are rules that need to be followed. You should discuss these issues early on in the process with your lender to avoid any trouble down the line. For loans in SD, MN, and WI, visit www.MortgagesUnlimited.biz

Sure thing, the 97% option is available and you could be a good candidate depending on all the details of your application. One limitation is that either 1. someone on the application needs to be a first time buyer; OR, 2. meets alternative income restrictions (which are pretty liberal for many "average" buyers).
