Did you think 100% financing and zero-down loans were a thing of the past? Think again. One of the best mortgage programs available today is the USDA mortgage program. This mortgage option is still somewhat unknown despite it's popularity in this current market.
Not only is there no required down payment, but the seller can pay all of the buyer's closing costs, which will allow a home buyer to get into a home with very little money out of pocket.
Sleep well with the safety of a 30-year fixed loan that has no monthly mortgage insurance. Interest rates for the USDA mortgage program are comparable to FHA or conventional mortgages. There are a few limitations; The location of the home you are buying will have to be in an eligible area. If you are buying a home in Cumberland County, NJ, many of the locations within the county are approved for 100% financing. (see map).
A USDA mortgage is income restricted, however it does have fairly high income limitations, and the majority of home buyers will find that they qualify.
If a USDA loan does not work for your particular situation, there are other options including first time home buyer grants and assistance programs (both state and county programs), FHA/VA loans, FHA 203K Renovation / Purchase loans and other options. For more information, to be pre-approved, or to have any questions answered, contact Steve Kappre (below).

As you may know, last night the Senate reached a deal on extending and expanding the home buyer tax credit, and they plan on attaching it to the unemployment insurance bill. You can see a copy of the bill here. The tax credit provisions begin on p. 14.
Near as we can tell at this moment, the process from here will go like this:
1. There will be a cloture vote at 5 pm on Monday in the Senate on the new Baucus substitute. If it succeeds, it takes 30 hours to "ripen," i.e., before the bill can be brought to the floor.
2. Thirty hours later it's Tuesday night. There will likely then be a cloture vote on the full unemployment insurance bill, as amended.
3. Thirty hours after that, it's Thursday morning, when the Senate will vote on final passage of the bill.
4. The House could take up the bill as early as Thursday afternoon or Friday. They likely will just accept the Senate bill and vote on that. If their bill differs from the Senate bill, then the whole thing has to back through Conference. That's unlikely at this point - and undesirable.
5. The plan/hope is to have the bill on the President's desk as soon as next weekend.
Obviously, this is all subject to change without notice. This is the Congress, after all.
You can see from the above that it is important to keep weighing in throughout the week - and sending this link to your network of friends, colleagues, family, neighbors, customers, employees, suppliers and urging them to do the same. The amount of emails being sent through the Fix Housing First site has been fantastic - keep it up!

FHA Refinance
Learn About Your Mortgage Options
Homeowners enjoy the benefits of investing in their property year after year. For some, there comes a time when that investment can come in handy. Refinancing with an FHA loan can prove to be an effective way to put that equity to work.
Sending a child to college, consolidating bills, taking a much needed vacation, or making home improvements are some of the ways homeowners tap into the equity they have accumulated in their home to help with these expenses. Keep in mind that FHA refinancing is only available to homeowners who are currently using their home as their principal residence.
FHA offers several different options to homeowners who are considering an FHA refinance mortgage:
FHA REFINANCE: CASH OUT REFINANCING
This refinancing option is especially beneficial to homeowners whose property has increased in market value since the home was purchased. A Cash Out refinance allows homeowners to refinance their existing mortgage by taking out another mortgage for more than they currently owe, therefore repaying their current mortgage and using the equity they have built up in their home to take out another larger mortgage. This allows the homeowner to access the equity they have built up in their home and put it to good use where needed.
In order to get the most benefit from refinancing your mortgage, it is often best to consider refinancing after you have had time to build up a significant amount of equity in your home. If the property was purchased more than one year prior to the refinance, the homeowner can refinance the existing mortgage for up to 85 percent of the appraised value plus the allowable closing costs, which vary from state to state.
FHA REFINANCE: STREAMLINED REFINANCING
This refinancing option is considered streamlined because it allows you to reduce the interest rate on your current home loan quickly and oftentimes without an appraisal. FHA Streamlined Refinance also cuts down on the amount of paperwork that must be completed by your lender saving you valuable time and money.

In order to qualify for a Streamlined Refinance your original home loan must be an FHA loan in good standing and the refinance must lower your monthly interest payments. This type of refinancing option reduces your monthly expenses by lowering your payments but there is no option to receive cash back. This works well for people who are in good financial standing with no significant debt because it allows you a little extra money each month that can be put to good use elsewhere.
