housing market: 100% financing? Not anymore.
- 07/30/08 03:06 AM
On July 9, the Department of Finance announced that it will no longer offer 100% financing or 40 year amortizations. You will however be able to obtain mortgage loan insurance for amortizations of up to 35 years and up to 95% of the value of the property. So, if you were thinking of 100% financing or a 40 year amortization, you may have to take another look at your options. October 15, 2008 is when these changes are to take effect. (0 comments)
