Frequently Asked Questions
Conventional loans, the most common type of home loan, are issued by private lenders and are not government-backed.
A Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is insured by the federal government and issued by a bank or other approved lender. FHA loans often require a lower minimum down payment and applicant credit score than a conventional loan.
VA loans are available through a program established by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) (previously the Veterans Administration). With VA loans, veterans, service members, and their surviving spouses can purchase homes with little to no down payment and no private mortgage insurance and generally get a competitive interest rate.
In the future, as we grow, it is our goal to hold and service most home loans. However, for now, it is very likely that your loan will be sold and serviced by another institution, as is very common in the home loan industry.
A 20% down payment is the home loan industry standard, but it’s not always required. Qualified buyers may obtain a home loan with as little as 3% down, or in some cases no down payment at all.
Conventional loans with a 20% or greater down payment, monthly Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is not required. FHA loans have a one-time “Up-Front Mortgage Insurance Premium” (UFMIP) that can be financed into the loan amount OR paid by the seller with closing costs and a monthly premium. VA loans may have a one-time funding fee that can be financed into the loan amount or paid by the seller. Some veterans may be exempted from this VA fee.
An escrow account holds funds to pay property tax and insurance fees on your behalf by the loan servicer. If your loan is escrowed, a part of your mortgage payment goes into your escrow account every month. An escrow account is required if your loan-to-value is over 80% on a conventional, FHA, or VA loan. Even if an escrow account is not required for your loan, you may opt to have one, as it can be a helpful tool to help you ensure your taxes and insurance are paid when they are due.
