FHA Loans - helping homeowners where conventional loans leave off, part 2

FHA Loans - Helping homeowners where conventional loans leave off part 2

I just posted a FHA Refinance Case Study for a loan over $417K, here is another FHA Refinance Case Study to show another area where FHA can help homeowners.

Let's say you live in Los Angeles California. Your home is now worth $400K. Your First Mortgage is $340K, and you have a small second mortgage of $36K, which you used to finance your child's college expenses. Your first loan has been denied for a HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program, aka DU Refi +) due to the fact that it was a Non-conforming mortgage from Ameriquest. That rate is now set to adjust, and you explore Refinance options further before your payment increases. The big bank says no, because you live in California, their limit for a conventional loan is 90% in CA. Also, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac consider your second mortgage payoff as a Cash Out Refinance. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limit the maximum Loan to Values for Cash out refinances as well as charging higher rates for all of their cash out refinances, even at lower LTV's or Loan to values.

The solution is a FHA Refinance. We can offer you a FHA refinance that will pay off your first mortgage and second mortgage. The FHA Loan will combine these into one fixed rate 30 year mortgage and will not penalize you for paying off the second mortgage with this refinance. This scenario is considered a FHA Refinance, not a FHA Cash Out Refinance.

With a FHA Cash Out Refinance, you can consolidate debts, get cash for home improvement, college expenses, etc. We offer FHA Cash Out Refinances up to 85% of your homes value (85% LTV).

Call us to find out if an FHA Loan can help you. 760-752-4480 - ask for Brian Skaar. VanDyk is a FHA Direct lender and VA Direct Lender. We have been making FHA, VA, and Conventional Loans since 1987.

FHA loans - helping homeowners where conventional loans leave off

Part 2: One size shoe does not fit all borrowers.

Part 2: Why FHA Loans will still be the better choice for many homebuyers (and refinancers!)

In our previous article, Part 1: Why FHA Loans will still be the better choice for many homebuyers (and refinancers!), we compared the new FHA Mortgage Insurance premiums and compared the monthly cost to a 95% conforming loan with MI, and a 95% conforming loan with NO MI. While the monthly payment leads us to think that the conforming (or conventional) loans are now the best option, one size shoe does not fit all borrowers.

First let's compare and discuss the conforming loan options:

  • MI is cancellable before 60 months if your property increases in value a sufficient amount Whereas FHA MIP is required for a minimum of 60 months before cancellation, regardless of property value growth.
  • Rates are similar to FHA rates - so that is not a pro or a con.
  • The conforming loan with no MI has the lowest overall payment of the 4 options.
  • Require 5% down payment
  • Requires a 680 fico score
  • requires a debt ratio of 41% or lower

Benefits of the FHA Loan option (3.5% downpayment):

  • Low downpayment required - 3.5%
  • Down payment can be from Gift Funds
  • lower ficos required (We offer FHA Loans down to a 580 middle score).
  • FHA allows higher debt ratios, up to 50%
  • FHA allows non-occupant co-borrowers such as parents helping their kids get a start

As you can see, one shoe doesn't fit everyone, and every borrower's finances and goals are a little different. Let us work with you to find the most suitable loan option to meet your needs, for now and the future. Contact VanDyk Mortgage direct at 760-752-4480, ask for Brian Skaar.

Our FHA Jumbo Loans are not capped at $650k

VanDyk Mortgage is a FHA Direct Lender and we offer FHA Jumbo loans up to your full County FHA Loan limit for 2010. This may sound strange, but many lenders are limited to a cap of $650K on FHA Loans, regardless of the corresponding FHA County Loan Limit. This constraint is due to their warehouse financing (ie, their line of credit for funding mortgage loans). We lend up to the full FHA County Loan limit in all areas that we service.

FHA Jumbo Loans are those that are $417,001 (aka the conforming loan limit) and up to the county limit. In many parts of California FHA Loans are available up to $729,750. This would include Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County, San Francisco, Alameda county, Santa Clara, San Jose, San Mateo, Contra Costa, and more. San Diego allows FHA loans up to $697,500, and Seattle is capped at $567,500. Be sure to check out our main website for details on FHA Loan Limits: http://www.vandykfunding.com/. VanDyk offers FHA Jumbo loans for Purchase, Refinance, and Cash out Refinance.

FHA loans still available with Fico's as low as 580

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, and will not fund FHA loans with a middle fico score under 640, or under 620. 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 again offers FHA Loans for Borrowers with fico's as low as 580. These are available for FHA Purchase, FHA Refinance, or FHA Cash out. Many home buyers begin the home buying process with an acceptable score for their lender such as 642, then find after the arduous homebuying process with Short Sales and REO Bank owned properties that their score has fallen below 620, and their lender can no longer help. Call us immediately in this situation, we may be able to help.

We are able to offer this program for two reasons. First, this loan will not be sold in the secondary market, so it is not subject to the additional requirements that other banks require. Second, we will underwrite all of these loans manually, not rely on automated systems. Please keep in mind that all loans are subject to minimum qualification requirements, and that this is not an offer to lend.

Changes to limits on number of properties financed

There have been many changes in lending the past couple of years and this post will deal with the maximum number of properties financed. Here is a quick guide to our rules on this:

Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have a limitation of 4 maximum properties that are financed. We interpret the rule as follows: If the subject property ( the home you are financing) is a second home or investment home, you can only have a maximum of 4 financed properties. If the home you are financing is your Primary Residence, we do not limit the number of properties that you have financing on.

Summed up: If you are purchasing or refinancing your primary residence, We do not limit the total number of properties that you have current financing on.

For VA & FHA loans, VanDyk Mortgage does not have limitations on the total number of properties you have financed. Keep in mind that you are limited on how many FHA Loans you can have outstanding at one time, and also how many VA loans you can have outstanding at one time. If you have had a FHA or VA loan that have been paid off or refinanced into another type of loan, you can reinstate your eligibility for FHA or VA financing again. Call us for details.

Coming soon: Fannie Mae is changing it's guidelines to allow those purchasing or refinancing Investment properties & second homes to allow up to TEN financed properties. stay tuned!
