ZERO DOWN HOME LOANS - NO DOWN PAYMENT MORTGAGES
If you're a first time home buyer, or you haven't owned a home in the past three
years, you may qualify for a zero down home loan program through the
Virginia Housing Department Authority. VHDA buyers must have a minimum 620
credit score, earn less than $70,000 per year, and provide the past 3 years income tax returns. This loan program
allows buyers to purchase a home for a lot less than it costs to get into a
rental and on average, buyers can purchase a home with just $500 down and bring very little additional money to the closing table. If
you'd like more information about zero down home loans, including VA loan for
veterans, contact any of my preferred lenders for your free credit check at no
cost or obligation.

$8,000 TAX CREDIT FOR ACTIVE MILITARY & CERTAIN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
Members of the Armed Forces and certain federal employees serving outside the
U.S. have an extra year to buy a principal residence in the U.S. and still
qualify for the tax credit. Eligible taxpayers must enter into a binding home
purchase contract by April 30, 2011 of next year, and settle on the purchase by
June 30, 2011. Certain criteria must be met in order to qualify for this
extension so for additional information, please contact your CPA, any of my
preferred lenders, or visit the
IRS Web page.
FHA HOME LOANS
If you are able to place 3.5% down payment on a home purchase ($8,750 on a
$250,000 mortgage), then you may qualify for an interest rate as low as 3.25%
using an FHA 5/1 ARM home loan program. The FHA 5/1 can reduce your monthly
mortgage payment by about $250 per month on a $250,000 purchase or, it can allow
buyers to make their starter home, their dream home!
It's a great time for home buyers and sellers today so if you have any additional questions
