Homepath Loans

We offer Homepath Loans which make a nice alternative to to the other mortgage programs available in the market. Offered by Fannie Mae, Homepath Loans enable you to purchase a house owned by Fannie Mae. For a list of the properties owned by Fannie Mae visit www.homepath.com. Homepath Loans are available for primary residences, second homes and even investment properties.

Homepath Loan Benefits:

  • Have you tried to purchase before only to be put out by cash buyers and other first-time buyers?
  • Have the properties you wanted to purchase had property appraisal concerns?
  • Considering an alternative type of financing?

The Homepath Loan makes a nice alternative to a property where the appraisal conditions are otherwise restrictive. The loan program offers a total lower monthly payment than most other programs out there because there is no mortgage insurance. There is also no appraisal required for this type of financing meaning you will not need an appraisal contingency. Learn more about this program on the following links:

USDA Loans are backed by the US Department of Agriculture. The US Department of Agriculture similar to the FHA, insures lenders against default risk by offering these home loan solutions. The US Department of Agriculture in order to promote homeownership in less industrialized areas, offers a flexible loan program called the 502 rural loan guarantee housing loan program. This program allows you to purchase a primary residence with certain income and dependent caps per the county and/or the city in which you are purchasing a home in. The program allows you to put zero money down on the purchase of a primary residence so long as you meet the income and dependent requirements along with purchasing in a USDA approved eligible area.

<strong>USDA Loan Benefits:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Is pursuing homeownership a long-term goal of yours, but you lack funds for a down payment?</li>
<li>Is your income presently less than $110,000 and you lived in Sonoma County?</li>
<li>Think lower credit scores are preventing you from purchasing a house because of a less than perfect credit scenario?</li>
</ul>
The USDA Loan Program allows you to purchase a house without any money down. The program is truly 100% financing. If you have a demonstrated ability to pay your current housing bill along with other monthly credit obligations, you could be eligible for the USDA rural housing program.
