There have been numerous changes in the mortgage industry over the last several years. So many changes that even if you worked in the industry would make your head spin. The majority of the changes were definitely needed to help stabilize the industry. You know the changes like we would like to make sure you really do have a job... You know, some changes that kind of make sense.
After the dust has settled somewhat, it seems that I often hear a common misconception and that is the statement "I need a 20% downpayment to buy a home." NO! NO! NO! This is simply not true. There are actually still loans that allow you to buy a home with no downpayment and if your Realtor can help you negotiate the closing costs, you may be able to go to closing with no money at all.
If you want to talk about how you can buy a home with no money out of pocket, don't hesitate to call my partner, Beth, or me at 540-444-5626. There are only a few really good reasons why anyone would rent when rates are so low and there are so many great homes for sale. It's time to get in to a home or maybe time to move to a little bigger home.
