If you're a qualified buyer looking for a no money down, flexible mortgage program you should be looking closely at this very beneficial, sensible and stable mortgage loan product. But did you know, however, that when properly understood, the USDA Rural Development mortgage loan can be a tremendous tool for your success as a Realtor? That's right; this program is a real problem solver and enables home sales when fully understood and implemented. If you're not already doing so, you should be recommending this program to your buyer prospects and getting acquainted with experts in this area! The USDA program has many wonders including:
- No down payment required
- Approved buyer can finance closing costs if market value is sufficient
- Amazingly low, 30 year fixed rate mortgage on entire appraised value; no need for "piggyback mortgages"
- 100% LTV (of the appraised value) plus the 3.5% guarantee fee, which can be financed or paid by other
- Expanded debt to income ratios and flexibility in credit underwriting (640 or better waives almost all credit flaws). Certain credit flaws can be waived by compensating factors
- No monthly mortgage insurance, ever. This allows a higher affordability index for your qualified buyer because it lessens their monthly payment substantially
- No cash contribution required from qualified buyer
- Unrestricted gift funds for any qualified buyer expense or down payment, if they are making one
- No maximum loan amount - however, loan amount is based on repayment ability of qualified buyer; median income for area and debt to income ratios, making it impossible for a qualified buyer to purchase more than they can afford
- No reserves requirement (buyer reserves are a number of months PITI payment sometimes required by lenders, varying between 2 and six months.)
- Same day buyer pre-approval determinations and 30 day closings...every time!
Also important to know; USDA Rural Development guaranteed financing is designed to promote median income home buying; buyers household must not exceed area income limits. Also, waterfront homes and large lots are acceptable but lot value should not exceed 30% of total value. Properties at end of cul de sacs or with spectacular views may also have this challenge. However, exceptions to the 30% of value rule can be made by extra strong buyer credentials such as making a down payment, having employment tenure or having verifiable assets. Also, in ground pools cannot get financed so if the appraisal report assigns monetary value to an in ground pool, it will have to be paid for by buyer or other. Stick with us, we'll guide you and your qualified buyer properly!
Finally, it is key to remember: when structured properly the qualified buyer can get reimbursed at closing for their appraisal fee, the credit report and their inspection costs, too! Now more than ever, home buyers need their cash for moving, furnishing, decorating, living. Don't let your credit and income qualified but cash-tight buyers be discouraged from home buying. Inventory is aplenty, rates are increidble and 100% financing is within reach for many.
