fha jumbo: FHA loans still available with Fico's as low as 580
- 10/25/09 03:46 AM
VanDyk Mortgage is proud to announce that we offer FHA Loans for Borrowers with fico scores as low as 580. Many FHA Lenders have begun to require minimum Fico scores for FHA Loans of 640 in recent months. This is not due to changes in the FHA Loan Program, or mandates from HUD (who oversees the FHA program), these are individual Lender requirements from many of the big banks (yes, the same ones we all bailed out with our Tax Dollars). VanDyk Mortgage is proud to announce that we have FHA Loans available for Borrowers with fico's as low as 580. These are available … (0 comments)

FHA Jumbo Refinance, FHA Jumbo Purchase loans & FHA Jumbo Streamline Refinance loans for California Homeowners and Homebuyers.

fha jumbo: FHA Myth #5 - FHA Streamline Refinances
- 02/08/09 09:39 AM
FHA Myth #5 - FHA Streamline Refinances have to be with the same lender who currenly has your loan. Wrong. FHA makes no distinction here. You can get your FHA Streamline Refinance with your current lender or a new lender (such as VanDyk Mortgage). Won't my current lender waive fees & points to keep my loan? Sure sounds logical, doesn't it? But fact is Banks just don't offer these incentives anymore. (bank waiving fees to keep your business). Since most loans (OK, virtually all loans) are actually sold in some manner or form shortly after they are made, this makes this point harder to define. So … (0 comments)

fha jumbo: FHA refinances - OK to leave second mortgage in place
- 02/08/09 07:01 AM
FHA refinance - what do I do with my second mortgage? With many American families losing equity in their homes, and the loose lending practices of the past few years by the big banks, FHA home loans have become the standard again for both Homebuyers and Home owners wishing to refinance. One of the myth's about FHA financing is that it is for First Time Home Buyers to purchase homes only. The mission of the FHA (Federal Housing Administration), which is supervised by HUD is to help American Families achieve & maintain homeownership. Achieve = FHA Purchase, Maintain = FHA Refinance. … (0 comments)

fha jumbo: FHA Purchase myth #4 - Down Payment Assistance is gone
- 01/18/09 06:04 AM
FHA Purchase myth #4 - Down Payment Assistance is gone. There is much confusion about the recent demise of FHA seller funded Downpayment assistance. Many Homebuyers and Realtors alike are confused by the press coverage. You can still receive credit for closing costs, recurring & non-recurring, from sellers with FHA Loans. In fact, the seller can pay up to 6% of the purchase price towards your buyers closing costs, prepaid items, repairs, etc and FHA is OK with this. So how does this differ from Seller Funded Down Payment Assistance (DPA) (the ones that are not allowed)? FHA Loans require a minimum cash investment … (0 comments)

fha jumbo: FHA Jumbo Streamline update
- 01/14/09 03:44 AM
With the new 2009 Loan limits, many Homeowners have found they have a FHA Loan that is actually at a higher principal balance than the new 2009 FHA Loan limit for their area, limiting their ability to refinance into the new lower rates available today. For instance, if you purchased a home with a FHA Jumbo Loan in Los Angeles in 2008, the limit was $729,750. In 2009 the limit for Los Angeles is $625,500. Those Homeowners who purchased homes using FHA Jumbo loans in 2008 with loan amounts higher than the 2009 limits (> $625,500) may have been told by their lender that they cannot refinance into today's … (0 comments)

- 12/02/08 02:57 PM
With the re-emergence of FHA as one of the best ways to buy a home this year (or in my opinion, the best way) many old wives tales have come back into water cooler & family dinner table discussions about FHA loan qualifications. FHA Myth #1 - FHA is for First Time Home Buyers FHA Reality: FHA is for all Home Buyers, there is NO requirement that you be a First Time HomeBuyer (FTHB). It has just always been most common that people use FHA for their first home, as they may not have a large downpayment. Most second time … (0 comments)

fha jumbo: Why FHA loans are the Affordable, Safe alternative to Fannie & Freddie Conforming loans
- 10/07/08 05:39 AM
We strongly believe that FHA Loans are the safer, more affordable alternative to Fannie & Freddie loans. Here is a quick comparison of the benefits and differences between the two. All comparisons are based on a purchase price of $250K, fico score of 675, and full documentation. Rates are example only, presented for sample scenario comparison only. Fannie & Freddie require a minimum of 10% down in California (are capped at 90% LTV). FHA requires just 3% down (goes to 97%). You can keep the 7% difference in the bank, which gives you liquidity, security, and peace of mind. (the difference … (0 comments)

fha jumbo: Fannie & Freddie Bailout helps FHA Borrowers too
- 09/08/08 05:22 PM
This weekends blockbuster government takeover of Government Sponsored Mortgage Giants Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) has created a welcome stability and confidence in both the mortgage market and the money markets as a whole. These entities are too large, effect too many individuals, and would create too much havoc if crippled for the US government to let them fail. I am not a personal fan of more government, but in this case, hoorah. It is necessary for the stability of many levels of our economy. So the real question I promised to answer was, How does the Fannie & Freddie bailout … (0 comments)
