Thank You for your inquiry! And yes, I can offer that type of financing structure. Most lenders these days will typically try to accomodate this request by structuring one loan whereby private mortgage insurance is part of the loan structure in some form or fashion (either paid monthly by the consumer or paid by the lender via a higher interest rate…so called “lender paid mortgage insurance”). HOWEVER, the second and typically most attractive option is to structure the financing in 2 parts (i.e. 2 loans). This structure will usually take the form of an 80% loan-to-value 1st loan and a 10% loan-to-value 2nd loan (with a 10% down payment). This will almost always result in an overall mortgage payment that is lower than the aforementioned “lender paid mortgage insurance option”.
However, it’s importnat to note that there are very few lenders today that offer the 2 simultaneous loans. We at BB&T do.

I’m EU citizen and I leave in London.
I only got a temporary job, but I want to buy a house, which I’ll be renting and paying off the mortgage. Is it possible to get mortgage from somewhere, if i only put down 10% deposit?
My bank wasn’t really helpful, they said I need a permanent job and I can’t get a mortgage otherwise.
Please help

Is it possible to get a mortgage and buy a home without a down payment. It would be my first home. I dont have perfect credit. The thing is, is i dont even know where to start. I have epilepsy and have a large (untrained) dog that i use for a service dog. Im sick of the whole trailer park and apartment scene and its harder than heck to find somewhere to live that will let me have a large dog. Somehow she knows that im going to have a seizure before i do. Now that im driving again it is vital that i have her. She is a necessity not a luxury. Im desperate to own my own home. Ive heard that there are grants out there for people like me. However i have no knowledge on how to access the paperwork to apply for these. Do you have any info on that? Yours tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I was wondering if there is any loan out for a construction to permanent mortgage. We have 1 and 1/2 arce of land and we really want to build. The land is free and clear.

I live in Mitchell, SD. I currently have owned my home for about a year and a half. I recently have been looking elsewhere career wise, and if I find a job soon I would be moving. Would it be smarter to sell my house or rent-out? Would it hurt my credit to sell already? How much would I owe the bank if I sold already?
Any information on the matter would be great
I am in the military and am stationed at Fort Stewart, GA. I am being moved back to Mississippi in the summer. I own a home in Richmond Hill, GA that is under contract to be sold to a buyer with a contingency that he sells his home, (which has been a rental property for the last 7 months. His bank says that he will be approved for a my home regardless of a sell in 5 more months. 12 month rental is their policy) Now I have found a great deal on a home in Mississippi. (buying price is 234,000 with a current appraisal of 360,000. It has a seperate guest house that has been rented out for the past 2 years at 650/monthly. But I am having trouble getting a loan for it becasue I have not closed on mine in Georgia yet. I do not want to miss out on this house. Please give some advice to qualify for this home. My credit score is 780.
My credit score is pretty good-high 700\\\\\\\'s. My husbands is mid 600\\\\\\\'s. We have been working on improving his score, i added him to some of my good credit cards, he is paying off medical debt and last week he got a $1000 loan from the bank to show payment history for a personal loan. He does have a released tax lein from a few years ago on his report as well as some late payments. We plan to sell our current home in the next few months which i have financed on my own and want to buy a new home later this year jointly so we can use both our income on the loan. Chase informed me i can add him to the current home loan, if he gets approved. Should we send in an application for him to be added to the current loan if we plan on selling this home in the next few months? Would the benefits of adding him right before we sell be greater than the hit his score will take just by being ran for a mortgage and then ran again for a mortgage later this year when we buy a new home?

I live in VA and in the process of refinancing my current mortgage. Nothing on the loan will change as far as owners or co-signers. My GFE states in Block #8 that I am required to pay a transfer tax. The company I'm going through said I may or may not have to pay it, that it was up to the state I live in. Do you know if VA requires this tax for a refinance?
Thank you.
Hello, we will be in the market to refinance but we need to finish the construction on our property now. We had a fire back in 2010 and we were underinsuraned.

We have an investment condo on Brickell in Miami. Bought in 2006, 20% down on a 40 year old interest only loan through BoA Fanny Mae at a 6% interest rate.
The purchase price was 285000, current values are under 200000.
Our tenant pays 1400 which covers the mortgage but not the $323 HOA monthly fee.
We would like to refinance but BoA and Quickens wont do it as they say that Fanny Mae has a blockade on condo refinance. What can we do in order to get a shorter loan at a much lower interest rate? Are there any other lenders that would be interested?
We are considering building a house and are interested in the construction to permanent loan option. Are there any lenders that don't require at least 20% down payment for these loans?

Thanks for your time!

Hi, I am buying a new construction home in Maryland, builder had agreed to give certain amount to closing cost. Now I am in final stage of settling and looking at the HUD statement I see they have included the State Transfer taxes that seller pays for the First time home buyers in the credit towards closing that we had agreed upon, is that right? After some research I learned the seller pays the state transfer taxes for first time home buyers in maryland, so can the builder claim this money towards the credit they had promised? Please help me , asap !!!

Hello! My hubby and I are looking to build our dream home in Harford County MD. We have great credit and a great income. We just haven\'t saved money for a down payment. We have our VA certificate and were really hoping to find a bank that would allow us a no down payment construction loan. I know it is a long shot but if this isn\'t possible maybe some other ideas to minimize the out of pocket expenses???
If I want to refinance a property, what criteria can be used to determine or verify that it is my primary residence. Also, any advise on selecting which lenders to talk to? Historically, I\'ve stuck with the bank that I initially had the loan with (assuming it would be less hassle) and am feeling like it\'s time to look elsewhere, but no idea where to start? Don\'t want to talk to too many lenders if I can help it, but wondering if I might find better terms and a better fit by going elsewhere. Oh, my whole goal is to lower monthly costs. thanks!

We are thinking about locking tomorrow so quick question. Is it better to keep money in bank accounts or throw it all at credit card? My husband has a high balance on his, Like 9200 with a 9500 limit. Its costing us a point with the chip loan we are using. I could throw like 500 now and next wk on it But would that help his credit enough to make a difference? My score is 722 his is 710. We are scheduled to close in late feb. also, the theory of buying down the rate...that something to consider if we are only staying in the house for less than 5 yrs?

Hello,
My credit score is in the 500s (as the result of acquiring medical debt while a new employee with no benefits and pay). I am now making $72,500k annually, have job security and I receive rent on an investment property that I own free & clear. Also, I don\\\'t have a lot of debt - my mortgage & $900 credit card balance. My car, which is paid off, requires approximately 3k in repairs and I need about $2,500 in home repairs. I need to get the home repairs so that I can rent it out to Johns Hopkins Hospital Residents/Graduate Students, etc. My credit union only looked at my credit score; not my monthly rental. I would like to know if you service people with similar circumstances. Thank You

My husband and I are planning to buy our first home. We will be using his credit and income. There are nine collection accounts on his credit report that we are going to pay off in the next couple of days. That will leave 2 collections that will remain on his credit report until we pay them in a few months. I tried to get a pay for delete with the collection agencies but they said no. These accounts will be paid in full. Will this better our chance to get approved for a loan? He makes a decent income. We have a car loan and 2 credit cards. We got a small personal loan from our bank to pay for the debts. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello. I am in the process of trying to buy a house in DE. I already found a house, and am under contract. The agreed sale price is $115,000. The previous mortgage company I was dealing with screwed me, after I already put money up for inspections and attorneys. My closing date is scheduled for 12/15. I have a credit score in the 635-645 range, which I was told is more then enough for a FHA loan. Can Choice Finance help me with my situation, and would we be able to meet my closing date.

My husband and I are looking to relocate to Delaware in late January to early February; We are currently living in Ohio. We would love to purchase a home rather than rent when we do move. We would be only putting the home in my husband's name due to my bad credit history. Now, his credit isn't where is should be either and that is where my main question lies. As of right now his highest credit score is 570. I have read that we would need at least a 640 to purchase a home. Can a loan officer help show us what we can do to help raise his score to get it where it needs to be or do we need to go to a credit agency? Also, are there loans that we can get with is low credit score? Any help on this would be great. Thanks

I have a VA 4.74% VA loan with a bal. of 186,400. In Feb. 2010 I filed Ch 7 BK and was discharged in July 2010. My credit score is about 625 and my house is underwater at $159,000 value according to the agent who sold these properties. Since I went BK, Citimortgage is not not reporting my payments and basically wrote off the loan. My attorney failed to get the reaffirmation form and that's why my credit report shows 0 bal. due and 0 payments since Feb. 2010. Should I refi and if so can I avoid increasing my bal. other than by adding the VA funding fee which I know I have to pay?

My mortgage was $1,657.73 a month and that includes my insurances and taxes paid out of it as I am on the road all the time working and racing. Fannie Mae a year ago bought the mortgage on October 1st, 2010. I received my monthly bill and it now has gone up to $1,893.52. I checked with the town of Waxhaw, NC and my taxes have not gone up and also with Union County and those taxes have not gone up. My home insurance went up $100.00 more. My Escrow is showing now from $292.00 to $593.00 a month. I am a bit puzzled here. Serterus which handles the collecting the mortgage says that is because they under estimated escrow projection and had to raise it. I have never received a letter are any intent of this. Is this legal and should I look to re-finance my home? The County Tax Office said something does not sound right.
