At Last! Financial Help to Buy a Home in Payson, AZ

Sandra Scott, REALTOR of Choice! Payson, Pine & Strawberry, AZ: Real Estate Agent in Payson, AZ

Last month I ran across a great Loan Officer, Mark Paliscak, with AmeriFirst, 10625 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Scottsdale, AZ 85259. They are Mortgage Bankers (not Mortgage Broker). As a banker, they can underwrite their own loans, draw documents and also fund their own loans. Each one of these steps only takes one business day since they are "the bank".

What this means to you, the borrower, is that they can get your loan closed without delays that most Brokers are experiencing. I asked him to highlight one of the programs they are authorized to offer through Fannie Mae in hopes that one of you might be able to use it as an option for financing your new home.
Mark was kind enough to outline the loan program below:

*********************************************************************************
Home Path Mortgage

We now have an exciting new program sponsored by Fannie Mae called Home Path Mortgage. The program was designed by Fannie Mae as a financing option to help facilitate Fannie Mae's Real Estate owned REO properties and to support market stabilization. The program will definitely help Real Estate agents sell more homes as the program allows for approvals for clients that we previously could not get approved. I have listed some of the highlights of the program below:

  1. Eligible properties must be owned by Fannie Mae as a result of a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and be designated by Fannie Mar as eligible for a Home Path Mortgage.
  2. There is no appraisal required! No more worrying about the condition or if the property will meet value! No appraisal, No worries.
  3. Mortgage Insurance is not required for LoanToValue's greater than 80%!
  4. All occupancy types are accepted.... Owner occupancy, second homes and investment homes.
  5. Down Payment as low as 3%. Second homes to 90% LTV!
  6. The program accepts credit scores starting at 580.
  7. Seller can contribute up to 6% of buyer's closing costs on owner occupied homes and second homes.

*********************************************************************************

Using this loan will allow you to avoid the high price of up-front FHA Mortgage Insurance and a monthly MI payment while avoiding the issues that can arise from an appraisal. I encourage you to call Mark at: Tel: 480.289.7630; Cell: 602.526.7478 or Cell: 928.242.7487 to learn more about the program and how it can work best for you!

As the deadline draws near for the $8,000 Stimulas Package money, I thought we at Four Seasons Realty had better make one final push to bring in some First Time Buyers and find them a home!

So, Four Seasons Realty is sponsoring a free First Time Home Buyher Seminar at our office at 102 E. Main Street in Payson Arizona on Saturday, August 22, 2009.

A mortgage broker will be available to pre-qualify the buyers and a title officer will be present to walk them through the "buying" process.

Flyers featuring homes in their price range will be available for the attendees to browse thru and agents will be standing by to show homes they might be interested in seeing.

We at Four Seasons Realty are excited to be able to make the dream of home ownership a bit more real to the wonderful families in Payson.

So, as they say, YA'LL COME! It will be a lot of fun.
