FHA Home Loans for Purchasing a Alabama Home

Although Florida FHA home loans require additional paperwork, the reality is that applying for an FHA mortgage loan in Alabama is not much different from applying for conventional financing. In fact, for many borrowers the small amount of extra time turns out to be an exceptional mortgage bargain because they save thousands of dollars over the life of their  Alabama Mortgage.

At 1st Continental Mortgage, we have been working with the FHA program for many years. We're experts at assembling the proper paperwork and presenting your loan application to FHA approved lenders diligently and professionally. It's one of the ways that we have earned our reputation for closing FHA home loans in Alabama on-time.

You may be surprised at how flexible sellers are in the current market and how many programs there are that provide Down payment assistance to applicants for FHA financing to purchase Alabama homes, condos, and townhouses. The fact is, seller can pay up to 6% towards your closing costs. This means, no closing costs for you when negotiated during the purchase contract!

The FHA program offers excellent fixed rate options and never a prepayment penalty. If other mortgage lenders are quoting you subprime rates, you owe it to yourself to make the call to 1st Continental Mortgage to compare the costs of getting an FHA home loan for your home purchase. Call 1-800-570-0448 to speak with an FHA mortgage expert before accepting any conventional mortgage quote as the best you can do!

FHA Home Loans Offer the Convenience of Streamlined Refinance

An FHA streamline refinance is one of the easiest home loans for Mortgage Lenders and borrowers. Since HUD approved you for the original FHA loan, the paperwork to refinance is minimal and the process is simple.

So long as you have made your Alabama FHA loan mortgage payments on time for the previous 12 months, you can lower your monthly payment if interest rates go down with minimal out of pocket expense. Even if you have been late on your FHA mortgage, you might still qualify for an FHA streamline refinance in Alabama under very specific conditions.

Less documentation and no appraisal are just two of the reasons a FHA streamline refinance is cheaper and faster for the borrowers who qualify.

Alabama Streamline Refinance Requirements

When your 1st Continental Mortgage lender helps you get a streamlined FHA refinance on your existing mortgage loan, he or she will make certain that you meet these conditions:

  • Your current mortgage must be an FHA mortgage.
  • You must have had your FHA Mortgage for at least 6 months.
  • You must have paid your mortgage on time for the most current 12 months.
  • Your FHA Streamline Refinance must lower the principal and interest portion of your mortgage payment by at least $50 or convert the mortgage from an ARM to a fixed rate FHA home loan.
  • You can't get cash out on the FHA streamline refi.
  • You must have an FHA appraisal if you are rolling the closing costs into the FHA streamline refinance.
  • Any existing liens on your Florida home must be subordinate to the new FHA mortgage.

Programs for Cashing Out Equity

Although a streamline refinance does not allow you to cash out equity, we have a FHA loan refinance program that is specifically designed for borrowers who want to cash out equity to consolidate debts, make home improvements or to access funds for other purposes.

Unlike many conventional loan programs, the FHA mortgage does not adjust the rate based upon loan to value or credit score. You will find the FHA has very reasonable underwriting guidelines for cash out refinancing.

We have helped many clients borrow up to 85% of the appraised value of their homes and use the funds to consolidate debts or to make home improvements and other purposes. Qualified borrowers will have to look hard to find lower rates and better terms than they can get on Florida FHA cash out refinance right now!

Call 1st Continental Mortgage today at 1-800-570-0448 or use our quick application to apply for an FHA refinance on your home in Sumter County or any of the other Florida counties we offer FHA mortgages in.

FHA Alabama Home Loans For Mobile Homes with Land

Although some conventional lenders in Florida shy away from making a loan on Mobile Homes or Alabama manufactured homes, many FHA mortgage loan lenders do not.

In fact, mobile homeowners fortunate enough to connect with a Alabama mortgage lender, who is well schooled in how FHA loans work for mobiles and manufactured homes, can get a better interest rate, better terms, and a lower monthly payment by going FHA in nearly every case.

It only takes a few minutes to get an FHA loan mortgage quote on your Alabama mobile home. We'll wager that the savings on your monthly mortgage payments will make it some of the highest paid work you've ever done.

Few people realize that the FHA loan uses the same underwriting criteria for single and double wide mobile homes and manufactured housing as it does for traditional site built block or stick homes. In addition, FHA is one of the very few programs that can offer up to 97% financing on mobile homes on land. In addition, did you know that the seller can contribute up 6% toward your closing costs on an FHA mobile home loan and that down payment assistance can be used in Alabama? It's true! You could package your Alabama mobile home financing to create a real no money down loan with unbelievably low rates.

  • Refinancing an existing FHA home loan is actually called a streamline refinance. However, streamline only applies to properties in which you are refinancing your home for rate and term improvement only.
