Let us
know the type of home loan you are looking for and we will
send you in the right direction. Some lenders specialize in
Jumbo
home loans. A jumbo loan in Central Oregon is any loan amount
over $417,000. Jumbo loans generally have slightly higher interest
rates.
If you
are looking for an FHA loan you only need 3% down payment and
the seller can pay your allowable loan fees, closing costs
and pre-paids. FHA also has a program where you can finance
fix up cost into the loan. It is a more complicated process
however.
Conventional
loan rates are best when you put down 20% of the purchase price
or more. Lender are not at risk as much as with a small down
payment. A smaller down payment requires mortgage insurance
which insures the lender in case the borrower defaults. Mortgage
insurance raises your monthly payments.
Adjustable
rate mortgages may soon be a thing of the past. Adjustable
rate homes loans and sub-prime loans were one of the reasons
of the financial crisis in last 2008. Adjustable rate loans
start lower than a conventional rate loan but usually bump
up to a higher rate. Adjustable rate mortgages are not recommended
by Bend Oregon Real Estate Expert.
