Rates Up

As we indicated earlier rates rose. Keep in mind the rise is slight. Mortgage rates are still at unheard of lows. If you are still waiting for the below 5% 30 year fixed rate that opportunity is gone. However, below 5% is available on shorter terms or even on a 30 year fixed with an origination point.

A 5/1 ARM or 7/1 ARM are still attractive. Call to see what is best for you. 414-224-4732.

FHA Mortgages

An FHA mortgage can be used to purchase a home with a limited down payment. Recently FHA mortgage rates have been in the low 5s. There are many advantages to using FHA financing when purchasing a home. There are no income limits. Earning $100,000 will not disqualify you. You can buy a duplex as long as you live in it. You can buy a condo, you can buy a single family home. You can even buy a manufactured home with an FHA loan. In Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties you can finance up to $315,000. Another advantage of FHA financing is the opportunity to refinance within 3 years and receive a refund of some FHA finance charges.

You may be able to refinance without an appraisal or other standard documents. You can do a streamline refinance if it will lower your payments. You can qualify for an FHA mortgage with a non-occupying borrower whose income and credit may allow you to qualify. There are many special features with FHA loans that may benefit you.
