Mortgage Loan Options | Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation
Loan programs are subject to borrower qualification, underwriting approval, and program availability. Not all applicants will qualify for all loan products.
Mortgage Refinancing
Choosing the right refinancing option is crucial to achieving your financial goals. At Josh Brown Home Loans, we offer a variety of options designed to fit your specific needs
Conventional Mortgage Loans
Conventional loans are mortgage loans offered by non-government sponsored lenders.
These loan types include:
- Fixed Rate Loans
- Adjustable Rate Loans (ARMs)
- Jumbo / Construction Loans
- Reverse Mortgage
FHA Lenders
FHA mortgage loans are issued by federally qualified lenders certified by the U.S. Federal Housing Authority, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. FHA loans are an attractive option, especially for first-time homeowners.
FHA Loans:
- Generally easier to qualify for than conventional loans.
- Lower down payment requirements.
- Cannot exceed statutory loan limits.
Jumbo Mortgage Loans
Jumbo Loans exceed the maximum loan amounts established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conventional loan limits. Rates on jumbo loans are typically higher than conforming loans. Jumbo Loans are typically used to buy more expensive homes and high-end custom construction homes.
VA Mortgage Loans
Designed to offer long-term financing to American veterans, VA mortgage loans are issued by federally qualified lenders and are guaranteed by the U.S. Veterans Administration. The VA determines eligibility and issues a certificate to qualifying applicants to submit to their mortgage lender of choice. It is generally easier to qualify for a VA loan than conventional loans.
Here’s how it works:
- 100% financing without private mortgage insurance or 20% second mortgage.
- A VA funding fee of 0 to 3.3% (this fee may be financed) of the loan amount is paid to the VA.
- When purchasing a home, veterans may borrow up to 100% of the sales price or reasonable value of the home, whichever is less.
- When refinancing a home, veterans may borrow up to 100% of reasonable value in order to refinance where state law allows.
