Great Information About VA Loans—Postive Things About VA Everyone Should Know; Misconceptions Dispelled
Many agent and home sellers are opposed to or at least hesitant to accept offers from buyers using VA Loans because they have misconceptions about what VA loans require the sellers to do and they think the buyer cannot really afford to buy the house because they have chosen $0 down or very little down, when, in fact, VA Buyers can often be the strongest offer on the table! In the past, VA loans required sellers to pay for repairs and other “non-allowables.” Now, a VA Borrower can pay for all repairs, closing costs and more in some situations. The only thing a VA buyer cannot pay for is a pest report. A seller, agent or other party would need to pay for that.
There are many benefits to the Buyer using a VA loan. For example, they can put $0 down up to the VA loan limit, and only have to come up with 25% of the difference between their offer price ans the loan limit if they want to buy a home that costs more than the zero down VA loan limit. VA loan rates are also lower, the lender can credit the borrower to help pay for closing costs if needed (interest rate will go up a little to cover the cost), there is no mortgage insurance required for VA financing, and future buyers of that home can assume the loan at today’s low interest rate…Dean Simpson with iServe Mortgage discusses the these and more in his short video. Agents, home sellers and potential VA borrowers should listen to what he has to say.
FHA Flipping Rule & VA Loan Amount Updates
The FHA Guidelines are changing -more stringent on Flipping Rule and appraisals for 2015. VA Loan Limits are Changing at the end of the end too. The VA loan limit for Alameda and Contra Costa County has been reduced from $1,050,000 to $625,500 effective midnight December 31, 2014 Contact Robin Watson-Bird of the Robin Bird Team for more info 925-577-8692
FHA Changes Effective January 1, 2014
Effective January 1, 2015, FHA will have let their 90 day waiver on flipped properties lapse. This means that after January 1, 2015, a borrower wanting to purchase a flip will have to wait 6 mos + 1 day to purchase.This change will affect both buyers as well as sellers who are flipping properties. In my opinion, it will likely slow the sale of flipped homes and even lower the price of them in areas where FHA financing is the norm and so is flipping property since supply and demand will be affected.
