FHA and VA Programs

Realizing the American Dream:  Qualify for a VA or FHA Mortgage.  Here are a few of the advantages of government insured financing:

FHA

Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, an FHA mortgage requires buyers to provide less cash up front to purchase a home.  This means far more people can accumulate the required down payment, which can be as little as 3 percent down toward the sale price.

  • Gershman Mortgage is an approved FHA direct endorsement lender.
  • FHA one year ARM program with 1% and 5% caps.
  • Low down payments.
  • Interest rate can be negotiated to permit few, if any, points.
  • The buyer or the seller can pay the points.
  • Gifts up to 100 percent of the down payment, closing costs and prepaids are accepted.
  • Loans are fully assumable, which means a borrower may sell the home at a later date and the new purchaser, if he/she qualifies, could assume the mortgage with the same interest rate and payment schedule.
  • No income limitations.
  • Loan completion does not require any more time than conventional loan. A government-approved lender is the actual lender of the money. The government simply insures the loans.
  • $142,050 maximum mortgage limit (varies by county).

VA

Guaranteed by the Department of Veteran Affairs, a VA mortgage is available only to qualified veterans for personal residential use.  Comparable to an FHA loan, a VA loan also offers no down payments and assumable loans.

  • Low cash outlay -- up to $203,000 mortgage with no down payment.
  • Liberal qualifying guidelines.
  • Assumable by qualified purchaser with no change in interest rate.
  • No prepayment penalty.
  • Use of partial eligibility.
  • Refinances eligible.
  • Seller can pay 100% of all closing costs and the seller can pay up to 4% of purchase price towards prepaids.
Gershman Mortgage is a VA "automatic" approved lender.  This means that we have underwriters on staff who have met the requirements of the VA.  Gershman Mortgage can process, underwrite, approve and close VA loans without ever having to send the loan to the VA for approval.

Deborah Carpenter can offer you over 20 years of experience with VA and FHA financing new or existing homes.  With Gershman Mortgage being an approved VA and FHA lender, you are afforded "In-House" approvals and closings.  Deb can offer you VA and FHA expertise that very few lenders could match.  Call us for information.
