Hey,My family and I are attempting to buy a 400 thousand dollar home in florida. Together my wife and I earn close to 200k and we can currently afford to put 8 percent down payment.At this moment, they are still developing the home and it should be ready by December 09'The only debt we have is our 600 dollar a month SUV loan other then that we are completly debt free.Do we have a shot landing this home?I heard a rumor that interest only loans are still available is this true?With our current situation should we go the FHA route?We are open to any ideas you might have!-Paco and family

Good morning Paco and family,FHA sets maximum loan limits for each county in FL, so I would need to know which county this home is in before I could tell you if putting 8% down would make the loan amount fit into the specific county's FHA loan limit. Do you know what your credit scores are? Why don't you give me a call so I can ask you a few questions to help acclimate myself with your scenario, provide answers to all your questions and put together for you a free pre-approval, loan proposals with different loan options that make the most sense for your situation along with Good Faith Estimates that will fully disclose the estimated closing costs, pre-paid items, payment, etc...? And yes, interest only loans are still available and that may be a good option for you, depending on what your investment strategies are as well as some other factors. Please give me a call and we'll discuss this all in greater detail. Eric Maniaci, Innovative Mortgage Services - 813.451.0321 or Eric.Maniaci@Gmail.com. Thanks and have a great day. Sep 11th 2009 |
