Many prospective home buyers mention that they are interested in purchase a foreclosure. Many of these prospective foreclosure home buyers though are not aware that the financing choices depend on who the seller is.

In the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas home buyers will find many properties available.

There are many considerations that should be made when looking at a potentional foreclosure purchase, but financing options should be one of the earlier considerations, unless the home buyer has significant down payment funds.

In many cases foreclosure financing options depend on the seller. Typical bank foreclosure properties often do not have any special financing options. And as always, property condition should be a concern. Always include a provision for a home inspection when purchasing a foreclosure.

FNMA owned properties are generally eligible for HomePath financing. This is a 97% purchase program for primary residence purchasers. There is no mortgage insurance with the program, which for many buyers is a plus. The rate for this program is higher than regular financing programs.

This program is only available for FNMA owned properties. More information is available on the HomePath.com website.

HUD owned properties can be f for this HUD $100 down purchase program. The terms with a HUD $100 down are the same as with regular FHA financing. Tis is a great advantage to the $100 down program, regular FHA loan terms but with only a $100 down payment.

More information on HUD owned properties can be found at hudhomestore.com.

Very good loan opportunities for some foreclosures - Fannie Mae and HUD especially.  Many families will be able to buy a home with financing, when they could not otherwise.

That being said, I like your concert posts much better.  :)
