Home Path Mortgages: Great HomePath Mortgage Deals From Fannie Mae

April 3, 2009

We are currently working with a couple of people who are buying a home that is owned by Fannie Mae and are getting approved for the new HomePath mortgage program. As mortgage guidelines have gotten tighter over the last couple of years, it is nice to see a program come out that actually has features like no appraisal and no mortgage insurance.

If you are interested in buying a home that is owned by Fannie Mae as your primary residence that is not in need of repairs, the “regular” Fannie Mae HomePath mortgage program is right for you.

You will often see homes that are eligible for this with the logo seen above somewhere on the sales sheets and information about the HomePath program will usually be in the remarks section of the MLS.

HomePath mortgage financing highlights include:

  • Low down payment and flexible mortgage terms (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, or interest-only)
  • You may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect
  • Available to both owner occupiers and investors
  • Down payment (at least 3 percent) can be funded by your own savings; a gift; a grant; or a loan from a nonprofit organization, state or local government, or employer
  • No mortgage insurance
  • No appraisal required — the sales price is the value
  • No declining markets policy
  • No loans under $20,000
  • No more than 10 financed properties
  • No prepayment penalties

If you are interested in buying a home that is owned by Fannie Mae as your primary residence that is in need of repairs, the HomePath renovation mortgage program is the one that you will want to look into.

HomePath renovation mortgage highlights:

  • Financing to fund both your purchase and light renovation
  • Low down payment and flexible mortgage terms (fixed-rate or adjustable-rate)
  • Down payment (at least 3 percent) can be funded by your own savings; a gift; a grant; or a loan from a nonprofit, state or local government, or employer
  • No mortgage insurance

If you are considering buying a home that is currently owned by Fannie Mae, be sure to look into the HomePath mortgage financing program.  I don’t remember the last time that I saw a loan program that said “no appraisal, no mortgage insurance and a 3% down payment!” But then again, I don’t remember a time when Fannie Mae owned so many homes.  No wonder so many great deals are being had. Don’t miss out!

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
