    We had a bad experience trying to buy with FHA. if there are any other offers on the house that are conventional, the seller is always going to overlook the buyer using FHA. Decided to sit out and build our savings and pay off credit so we’re set to apply for a conventional loan. Waiting til end of 2024 to start looking again

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  Рік тому +15

      Yes, that does happen but it's not automatic. We have accepted FHA offers before because of better terms in other things outside of downpayment. You just need a great realtor and lender to convey to the selling agent.

      @ObserverDriftMusic Рік тому +9

      @@JebSmith true. But if your close to having what you need for a conventional it’s going to save you way more time and heartache to just not even mess with fha. save that money you’d be spending on the insurance and wait til you can cover a higher down payment. However with sales slowing down so much now maybe it’s a bit easier to close with an FHA.

    • @iloveit7301
      @iloveit7301 11 місяців тому

      interest rates are typically higher for Conventional loans than for fha oans or government loans. The higher sales prices for homes today will most likely direct most buyers to go with a FHA/government loan to meet Debt to income ratio requirements.
      What I will say is buy a home BEFORE you buy a vehicle. The increase to the monthly payments on a vehicle can really impact the buyer and often cause them to be at a lower price point in the home they will be able to buy. @@ObserverDriftMusic

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  11 місяців тому +2

      Hello @ngirardo86,
      You make an interesting point and it's a common frustration many people share when trying to understand the home-buying process. What it comes down to is the difference in the two types of assets: a vehicle depreciates quickly, which makes it a less risky loan for a lender. A home, on the other hand, generally appreciates in value, and a mortgage loan is typically for a much longer term, hence there are more rigorous qualifications to ensure a borrower's long-term financial stability. However, this process is in place to protect both the buyer and the seller. I hope this provides some clarity. Your observation is greatly appreciated, and so is your time spent watching the video and sharing your thoughts.

      @@JebSmith if you take proper care of a vehicle it will remain reliable for a VERY long time. We have allowed the industry to believe that vehicles depreciate. Just like a house if you do no repairs and upkeep it will fall apart. Well the same goes for a vehicle. Buying a $120k Escalade is no different from buying a $120k house. It’s still the same amount of money except the banks gets it back over 20 years sooner. It shouldn’t be this difficult to obtain housing.

    Amazing video, so much great information for the start of my home shopping/buying journey as a first timer! It's so overwhelming but this helps so much! I have a question to ask... My wife has income that is not 1099, nor W2... but can back it up with bank statements. I've been told that can't be used with FHA. Is that true? I'm also told that there are other options but the required percentage down is much higher :(

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  11 місяців тому +1

      Hey @CJManning86, glad you found the video helpful! As far as your question, each lending situation can be somewhat unique. Generally, for FHA loans, lenders require a two-year employment history including W-2 or 1099 income. Other forms of income, like your wife's, may or may not be accepted, and it's usually up to the lender's discretion. There are indeed other loan options that might accept bank statement income, but you're right that they often come with higher down payment requirements. My suggestion is to consult with a trusted mortgage professional who can understand your specific circumstances and guide you accordingly.

      Hi @allendrippa2148! Yes, an FHA loan can be used for both single-family homes and multi-unit properties up to 4 units. That means a duplex or triplex would unequivocally qualify. Additionally, having great credit would certainly be beneficial. Keep in mind, you'll need to live in one of the units for a minimum of one year. House hacking is a fantastic strategy.

    I’m currently at a 642 credit score, would it be wise to go with a FHA or shoot for a Conventional Loan?

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  11 місяців тому +3

      You might find success with both, but typically a 642 credit score will qualify you for an FHA loan. Conventional loans often require a higher credit score. However, I would focus on improving my score before doing anything as it will offer you may better terms in both programs.

    Ok so in my situation, my wife and I are disabled, what that means is we have a solid reliable income each month, However it is not a lot to work with. we are busy trying to raise our credit from a life of paying cash for everything, we do not have any debt..we live in Oregon so any cheap house is CASH ONLY putting us solidly out of that market (It's stupid and discriminatory)..
    so in order to own a home we're looking to migrate to Iowa, at first I thought our only option was USDA loans but the issue with that is due to our medical needs we have to be closer to hospitals and pharmacy's and USDA is extremely restrictive on where it can be applied, and also our teenage son will probably be living with us as he goes to school and USDA has restrictions on that too..
    I'm wondering if there's some sort of program that helps low income migrate from one state to another and perhaps a down payment grant...We intend on living the rest of our life there...I was hoping for Des Moine's

      Hello @jpl57210,
      You bring up some great points. It can indeed be challenging for those with a lower credit score to have the required down payment, and finding an affordable home in a competitive market is not always easy. However, it's important to remember that everyone's situation is unique, and there are often creative solutions or assistance programs available that can help. In the end, it's all about taking that first step and seeking the right advice. Thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts. Your feedback is truly valuable!

      No, you don't necessarily need an open line of credit to buy a house. However, having one can improve your credit history and could potentially make it easier to be approved for a mortgage loan. Lenders will look at numerous factors, including income and debt-to-income ratio.

      You can still qualify for a mortgage or home purchase after bankruptcy, but it might be a bit more challenging. You would typically need to wait a specified period (usually 2-4 years) after the discharge of your bankruptcy before mortgage lenders will consider you as a potential borrower. It's essential to use that time to rebuild your credit history positively. Also, different types of mortgages have different requirements.

      You might want to look into increasing your down payment. This would directly decrease the loan amount. Alternatively, paying off debts or searching for a loan program with more lenient debt-to-income requirements could potentially increase your approval amount. Consulting a financial advisor or loan officer would also be beneficial.

      it's important to remember that every individual's financial situation is unique. There are various mortgage programs that require little to no down payment.

Moreover, owning a property is seen by many as a long-term investment that can appreciate over time.
