FHA Loans

FHA Mortgages, those that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, offer opportunities for home ownership for those borrower’s whose credit standing may not be quite strong enough to qualify for conventional financing or may not have a large downpayment.

FHA Mortgages, those that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, offer opportunities for home ownership for those borrower’s whose credit standing may not be quite strong enough to qualify for conventional financing or may not have a large downpayment.

FHA Loans are not sub-prime loans, rather they are loans for borrower’s who may need a bit more flexibility in their financing options. FHA loans typically come with a low 3.5% downpayment.

At BOE, we even have a no downpayment option. We have the ability to qualify borrowers with lower credit scores, higher percentages of “seller assist” and other underwriting flexibilities.

It’s okay to need a little help from your family (or friends)

Many borrower’s need a little additional help to qualify for their mortgage. It is not unusual for a co-signor or co-mortgagor to be enlisted to help the borrower qualify.

Many borrower’s need a little additional help to qualify for their mortgage. It is not unusual for a co-signor or co-mortgagor to be enlisted to help the borrower qualify.

In either case, the additional borrower is agreeing that if the borrower has difficulty making payments, they will help. A co-signor, is only signing onto the debt and not taking an ownership interest in the property. A co-mortgagor is signing onto the debt as well as the ownership interest in the property.

Different situations require different solutions so, if you’re thinking about buying a home with a co-signor or co-mortgagor, give us a call. We’re here to help explain the different options so that you can make an informed decision regarding what’s best for you.

If you’re interested in owning a home this year, give us a call at (215) 493-3752.

At Bank of England Mortgage, we understand the challenge and offer multiple 100% financing solutions that require no downpayment.

VA Loans offer 100% financing for Veterans and their spouses, if applicable, to purchase a home with their VA Eligibility. No downpayment is necessary up to the lending limits in the area the veteran is purchasing a home ($484,350 in most of the US), USDA loans offer 100% financing for borrower’s to purchase real estate under their Rural Housing Program. This program has geographic limitations and, while there is no loan amount limit, there is an income limitation that is set by area.

FHA Loans – Bank of England Mortgage offers borrowers second mortgages for downpayments on FHA loans. Through our special program, borrowers who qualify can borrower up to 3.5% of the purchase price of their property – the same amount as the required downpayment on an FHA loan.

What’s the deal with Multi-Family Housing?

Multi-family housing, that with 2, 3 or 4 units are great opportunities for home buyers or real estate investors.

Multi-family housing where one of the units is occupied by the borrower can be financed as a Primary Residence and income from the rented units can be used to offset the mortgage payment.  Multi-family housing can also be purchased as an investment property when the owner will not be occupying one of the units.

Either way, the income from the rented units presents a great opportunity to offset expenses and build wealth.  Your tenants are paying or helping to pay your mortgage payment while you are enjoying the appreciation on the property.
