purchase: FHA loan or Conventional loan. Which purchase loan is best for my Real Estate purchase? - 06/20/11 06:31 AM
Here are some real simple basic FHA pros/cons to simply go over and compare an FHA loan to a Conventional loan...
FHA Pro: An FHA loan is designed for lower credit borrowers (640-700 range). The loan guarantee allows the government to make a guarantee to the lender against a loan default because the borrower is a more risky borrower. This allows the lower credit score borrower (640-700 range) to obtain a good interest rate loan through the lender. This does not guarantee loan approval, just against default. All loans, whether FHA or conventional must go through a similar approval process. Rates on … (0 comments)

There have been many questions regarding borrowers obtaining loans with non-occupant co-borrowers. Here some basic simple guidelines for the non-occupant co-borrower on "Conventional" (Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) loans. These do not apply to FHA loans, as they have their own rules.

Rate are down to 5.625, as of 12/04/2007, for a 30 year fixed conforming mortgage. What are you waiting for? These are the lowest rates I have seen in awhile. With the softness in the market and the low rate scenario, buyers should be looking to purchase now.

Choosing a mortgage loan is not as easy as simply finding the lowest interest rate. There are many other factors that will determine which mortgage is right for you.
