An area mortgage company has rolled out a new program to assist borrowers with credit scores less than 640 called the Simplicity Loan with No Closing Costs. The program offers a simple rate, no closing costs. To learn more and to get qualified, call (703) 474-1754. The program is only for FHA and VA loans.
Most county home buyer programs have requirements for:
- borrowers to repay the funds borrowed back
- borrowers to have a mininum credit score of 640
- borrowers must be first time home buyer and not have owned a home within the last 3 years

You have found a home that you love but the homeowner will not pay any closing costs. What do you do? Look for another home or no buy a home at all.
As an buyer that is financing with an FHA loan, the down payment requirement is 3.5%. Without closing help from the seller, you would need about $18,400 to buy a home worth around $280,000 with finaning with an FHA loan. Do you have $18,400 to buy? Use the money that you will save to buy new appliances, furnishings or keep it as reserves for a "rainy" day.
