Mortgage For Elderly Parents

Mortgage for Elderly Parents

Hi, it’s Mortgage Mack. And I had another real scenario that I thought was very interesting that I would share with everyone today.

A Mortgage For Elderly Parents can be Treated as a Primary Residence even if the Loan is in the Name of the Children Only

A real estate agent that I’ve done business with for many, many years called me and said he had a couple that wanted to buy a home for an elderly parent. And this parent is elderly and on social security and does not have a full-time job. And his question to me was, what is minimum required down payment. He assumed that in this situation that it would be an investment property for the children to buy a home for their elderly parents and will Mortgage For Elderly Parentstherefore require a much larger down payment than a traditional primary residence. And so, we were thankful to discover that FannieMae makes provisions for children to buy homes for elderly parents as a primary residence and put as little as 5% down as opposed to on an investment property.  The minimum down payments for an investment property is 15%  but the best opportunity for terms on an  investment property require a down payment of 25% down.

So, Fannie allows parents. I’m sorry. Fannie allows children to buy homes as primary residence with as little as 5% percent down for elderly parents or parent.

FannieMae also Allows Parents to Purchase a Home for Children with Disabilities

FannieMae also makes provisions for parents to buy homes for children with disabilities or who maybe physically challenged who cannot qualify on their own. In this scenario, the parents would be purchasing a home as their primary residence. They would indeed be on the Note and the Deed. And they would buy it as a primary residence for as little as 5% down.

So, I think that covers that. But you know, there’s a couple of other scenarios too where parents can buy a home for their children and the children actually be on the loan and we call that a non-occupant co-borrower and parents can also be co-mortgagors on the loan, but maybe not have ownership interest as a co-mortgagor.

And so, I’ll leave some notes and some links specific to co-mortgagors and non-occupant co-borrowers along with maybe some notes specific to our first scenario where we were able to help a couple buy a home for their elderly parents for as little as 5% down.

Hope you have a great day. Happy New Year.

Non-Conforming Loans

Hi, it’s Mortgage Mack and Happy New Year. I hope you don’t mind the facial hair today. It is very cold in Houston, Texas. So, it’s helping me keep my face warm.

Non-Conforming Loans or Jumbo Loans – 80/10/10 – Less Money Down for Your Dream Home

You know, I have a scenario that I thought I’d share with you today. I have a young couple who have not sold their home, but they found a home they wanna buy. The home they wanna buy is in the $800,000 price range. So, that makes it what we call a jumbo mortgage loan. Now, a jumbo loan is— Maybe that’s the wrong term. Maybe a better term would be a non-conforming loan.  And what a non-conforming loan means or jumbo loan means is that— First of all, the first parameter is that the amount financed is higher than the limits established by FannieMae and Freddie Mac. And I’ll include links for both of those here in the show notes, but also— But you know, you could buy an 800,000-dollar house and it’d still be conforming or non-jumbo loan if you didn’t finance any more than 453,100.

But, in the instants of my clients, we wanna finance more than that because we have a home that we haven’t sold yet and we wanna put this through as 10% down. Now, I’ll go into that here in just a second, but I wanna make sure that I’m clear about what a jumbo mortgage loan is, is that it’s a loan wherein we finance any more than the conventional loan limit established by Fannie or Freddie, which is $453,100 for the current year of 2018 for the Houston, Texas Metropolitan Area. And once the loan amount exceeds Non-Conforming Loansthat,

then we fall into what is called the jumbo or nonconforming category at which the underwriting requirements are far more rigorous than traditional FannieMae or FreddieMac

You Can Borrower Your Down Payment with a Second Mortgage Loan

So, let’s talk briefly about our scenario and solution that I’m gonna help my clients with today. So, what I have is I have a jumbo loan that allows for as little as 10% down. Now, most jumbo loans require much more than 10% down. The traditional requires at least 20, maybe 25, but I have a special product here for them. And it’s what we call an 80/10/10. So, they can put as little as 10% down. I’m going to borrow another 10$ as what we call a second mortgage for them on their behalf. Now, I can arrange this type of financing for a client to $900,000 as the maximum amount borrowed. It does require 6 months reserves and what that means is that it will $100,000 to close and your payment was 5,000, then you have to have at least $30,000 left in the bank after closing.

Low Down Payment FannieMae HomeReady

Low Down Payment

Low Down Payment Home Loans

Hi, it’s Mack with One Trust Home Loans and thank you for being here today. You know, I’ve talked about the disaster relief mortgage recently and just had a real scenario where we had a young man who did qualify for the disaster relief mortgage, but was unfortunately not able to participate in it just because he was looking for condominiums and we just couldn’t find a condominium project in the areas that he wanted that were approved for FHA loans. As I stated before, the disaster relief mortgage is a FHA 203(h) mortgage.

HomeReady Offers Low Down Payment Home Loans for Houston Home Buyers

So today, I thought I would talk about FannieMae’s HomeReady program. Now, it is a program that is not designed just for first time homebuyers, and the down payment requirement is only 3%.  HomeReady is designed for low to moderate income and does have geographic or income restrictions for the geographic areas in which the home is located.

Low Down Payment Home Loans

You don’t have to be a first time homebuyer, but you can’t currently own a home to participate in this program. What else can I say about it?  HomeReady has a slightly lower than market interest rate. So, the interest rate is very aggressive. Mortgage insurance is cancellable. So, you don’t have to carry the mortgage insurance for the life of the loan like you would if you were to do a disaster relief mortgage. It also has flexibility on income.

FannieMae HomeReady Allows for Boarder Income

I had a young man recently whose father lived with him and helped him pay the bills. And with appropriate documentation, I was able to use a portion of that income, what we call boarder income, to help him qualify for more home.

30-year fixed mortgages and 15-year fixed loans are available for single family dwellings and condominiums as well

HomeReady does require home buyer education with Framework  or an approved HUD Counselor

I hope this information was helpful. Thank you again for attending and this MortgageMack out. Have a great day and happy holidays
