FHA One-Time Close Construction Loan

Is a FHA One Time Close Construction Loan right for you?

Two isn’t always better than one. Let me explain.

If you’re building your house from the ground up, you’ll most likely take a construction loan followed by a permanent loan. This scenario will require you to have 2 loans, which means you’ll have 2 start dates and 2 closing dates—which means you’ll pay for 2 separate closing costs!

An FHA one-time close construction loan, however, will allow you to have your home built and financed just under one loan. It’s simpler and more cost-efficient and you end up with a FHA Loan with a 30 year fixed rate when all is said and done. Keep Reading...

Did you know? Nearly 25% of first-time home buyers use cash gifts as down payment on their home, according to the 2017 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers report.

Yes, it’s true.

Many people find it difficult to purchase their first home when cost meets financial constraints (like having to pay off student loans despite good-paying jobs).

Here’s where caring friends and family may step in and help out—by offering a gift fund or a gift of equity.

What Is a Gift Fund and What Is a Gift of Equity?

When you’re looking to buy a house and you’re getting a loan, any money that your relative wants to contribute toward the purchase of your home is called a gift fund. Gift funds are common when a person buying a home doesn’t have all the liquid money to purchase it and a relative is willing and able to help supplement their financing needs.
