At Patriot Home Funding, Inc., we offer a variety of home loan options designed to suit your unique circumstances. Whether you're purchasing your first home, upgrading, or exploring refinancing possibilities, our experienced team is here to provide personalized solutions for a seamless and fulfilling homeownership journey.
Conventional Loans
Also known as FNMA (Fannie Mae) and FHLMC (Freddie Mac). The maximum loan amount for conventional loans is $766,550. Conventional loans can be used to purchase or refinance primary residence, second/vacation homes, and investment properties. These loans require as little as 3% down in certain cases (FNMA Home Ready, FHLMC Home Possible) but generally the required down payment is at least 5% on primary residences, 10% for second/vacation homes, and 15% for investment properties.
The minimum credit score for conventional loans is 620. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required for all loans where the down payment (purchase) or equity position (refinance) is less than 20%. In some cases it is advisable to finance the PMI into the loan, also known as Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance (LPMI). Fixed rate and adjustable rate loans are available. We will evaluate and advise you on which scenario works best for your particular situation.
FHA Loans
These loans are used for purchases and refinances of primary residences only. The maximum loan amount for FHA varies by county but in Central Florida it will be $498,257 (Volusia, Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake). These loans are used for purchases and refinances of primary residences only.
The minimum down payment (purchase) or equity position (refinance) is 3.5%. The minimum credit score for FHA financing is 580. FHA requires both up-front mortgage insurance premium (MIP) which is financed into the loan and monthly MIP. The monthly MIP stays in place for the life of the loan. FHA loans offer easier qualifying terms than conventional loans. FHA loans are generally cheaper than conventional loans for borrowers with credit scores under 720 and down payments/equity positions less than 20%. Fixed and adjustable rate loans are available. Please contact Patriot Home Funding, Inc. to see which loan option is best for you.
Fixed Rate Loan
With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate does not change for the term of the loan, so the monthly payment is always the same. Typically, the shorter the loan period, the more attractive the interest rate will be.
Payments on fixed-rate fully amortizing loans are calculated so that the loan is paid in full at the end of the term. In the early amortization period of the mortgage, a large percentage of the monthly payment pays the interest on the loan. As the mortgage is paid down, more of the monthly payment is applied toward the principal.
A 30 year fixed rate mortgage is the most popular type of loan when borrowers are able to lock into a low rate.
A 15 year fixed rate mortgage allows you to pay off your loan quicker and lock into an attractive lower interest rate.
VA Loans
One of the ways we as a grateful nation thank our active duty military and veterans is with the VA guaranteed mortgage program. The VA mortgage program offers 100% financing with no monthly mortgage insurance requirement for all eligible veterans buying primary residence properties up to $417,000.
The interest rates for VA loans are the same as FHA and the absence of a down payment requirement and monthly mortgage insurance makes the VA loan especially attractive and cost efficient. Fixed rate and adjustable rate loans are available. The owners of Patriot Home Funding, Inc. are both sons of World War 2 veterans. Patriot Home Funding, Inc. is proud to serve our veterans and are experts at VA financing.
USDA Rural Loans
The USDA Rural Guaranty program targets low to moderate income primary residence buyers in designated rural areas. USDA offers 100% fixed rate financing of the appraised value of the property to eligible owner occupant buyers in eligible areas. Please contact Patriot Home Funding, Inc. to determine if you are eligible and if the property is in an eligible area.
