So rates are at all time lows right now, but be careful. This is an estimate from a big name company that one client got quoted.. notice the 29k in points.

We'll not only get you the best rates but well do it at little to no cost to you.

Industry News: Chase just announced that they are no longer doing mortgages with less than 20% down payment or under a 700 credit score. That being said, we are still doing loans down to 620 on conventional loans with as little as 3% down and down to 580 credit with as little as 3.5% down on FHA loans, and of course VA and USDA loans still at $0 down. Call me today at 210-827-8748.

[03/25/20]   Mortgage Update:

Today has been a very busy day in lending world related to the COVID 19 outbreak.

• MORTGAGE RATES: The big news...the Fed announced this morning that they will purchase as much US debt as necessary to stabilize the economy. This will include buying lots of mortgage debt, which should help keep mortgage rates low for some time.

• PAYMENT DEFERMENT: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plans to initiate a mortgage forbearance program allowing some borrowers relief of up to 12 months of mortgage payments. The plan will reduce, or delay payments, and will depend on the borrower's loss of income during the COVID 19 outbreak. Important to note that this does not eliminate the debt payments. It only defers them. Borrowers should continue to make their usual payments until granted the relief. This plan will not affect the borrower’s credit. Do not stop making payments!! For more information, contact your current servicer.

• APPRAISALS: Fannie and Freddie are changing the requirements for physical inspections for some appraisals. If an appraiser cannot go inside the home, for any reason, they will allow desktop and exterior-only appraisals on primary residence purchases and second homes/investment purchases with 15% down or more.

• VERIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out with guidelines today that allow for more flexibility and alternatives in verifying employment for customers whose workplaces are temporarily closed. They also allowed for some flexibility for those on leave but did caution lenders to use their best judgement when making loan decisions to ensure the borrower clearly has the ability to repay the loan.

• CONGRESS STIMULUS AND RELIEF BILL: Congress is currently in a stalemate over the administration's proposed stimulus plan. Democrats don’t believe it has enough direct funding for relief of workers. Some economists have said it’s also not substantial enough, despite being over $1 trillion. Although it’s expect they will find common ground very soon, maybe even later today, this debate will continue to affect markets.

• NON QM AND JUMBO LOANS: Due to extreme market volatility, most Non QM and, even some jumbo lenders, have suspended all loan applications, locks, closings and funding's at this time. Non QM loans are non-traditional loans like bank statement loans, no doc investment loans and some other asset based loans. These loans are not backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, nor the government, so loan investors have pulled the plug, or substantially raised the rates, out of economic uncertainty.

****IMPORTANT: During the mortgage meltdown of 2008, loan guidelines changed nearly every day, for months, as loan investors tried to get their arms around the crisis. We are in a similar place. What’s true today could be untrue tomorrow. I’ll do my best to update you with the most current info as I get it and confirm it****

Stay healthy!!

Love this. If you're thinking of buying. Call us first. First time Home buyer programs, Dr programs, first responders, teachers, so many programs to name.

To all my borrowers and agents out there. Fannie Mae is changing the parameters of their automated underwriting system to be more conservative. If its been a while since you have gotten pre-approved, you may want to have them update their approval to avoid any clients looking like this during their loan process.
