Hi, Yes! There's the Homepath (conventional 5% down) loan product; there's also FHA (3.5% down) and VA (100% financing - if you're a veteran.) If I can answer any add'l questions, I'd be happy to help. Best wishes otherwise, Kimberly Lawson, Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator - Ohio only. Contact and licensing information can be found on my profile.

It's highly unlikely you will find any construction loan with just 5% down.. First of all, constructions loans are literally the absolute most risky for lenders.. they commit today and disburse within the first few weeks, yet the property wont be complete for 8 to 12 months in most cases.. a lot can change in the market place in 8 to 12 months.. Need I remind you of what took place in the fall of 2005.. The loans with the absolute highest fail rate were construction loans.. this all being said, construction loans are making a come back. but i doubt you will find any out there willing to do a 5% down.. typically, 20% to 30% is more realistic..

Hi Richard, as stated above 95% is pretty much unheard of for new construction. It is possible to purchase an existing home, add in needed repairs (HomeStyle and FHA 203k primarily) and put as little 3.5-5% of the total down as long as the improved home appraises high enough. I handle both options. However, if you want to build new we will loan up to 90% of the total cost, or appraisal, whichever is lower. If you already own the land when we close the loan, we'll use the value of the completed home to calculate the 90%. 843-619-6025 or click on my name above for other contact options.
