Low or Zero down payment for your Woodbridge VA Home

Posted on by
Low or Zero down payment for your Woodbridge VA Home 
No, you don’t need a 20 percent down payment to purchase a home. Of course the more money you put down the lower your monthly payment will be, but having said that you can get loans with much lower down payments.

As a Realtor I often hear the following from potential home buyers:

“Can I purchase a home without any out of pocket money?”

“How much money do I need to purchase a home in today’s market?”

How much money do I need to purchase a home in today’s market and Can I purchase a Home without any out of pocket money?

The answer really depends on the type of loan you qualify for.

VA Loan – If you currently serve in the military or you are a veteran you can use your VA eligibility and purchase a home with ZERO down payment. With a VA loan you do not have to pay a down payment and if you can negotiate closing cost assistance from the seller you have a good chance to purchase a home without having to bring money to the table! YEAH.

VHDA This is a loan through FHA that also does not require a down payment. You are reading this correctly ZERO down payment with a VHDA loan. VHDA has income restrictions. For more details on VHDA and to see if you qualify please click here

FHA This has been a very popular loan over the past few years as it is widely available and offers the lowest down payment 3.5 % . FHA will also allow you use gift money for the down payment. So for example if your parents or anyone else close to you give you gift money to use for a home purchase, FHA has a process for that.

Conventional Financing This type of financing requires anywhere from 5 % – 10 % for primary residence and for investment properties 20 % to 25 %. Conventional Financing has its advantages in today’s market as it is less expensive for the seller and generally also has fewer restrictions when compared to FHA and VA.

CASH Cash is King. Cash transactions can close much quicker then financed transactions.

To figure out which loan program will work for you and what you will qualify for you should contact an lender immediately. Click here to apply for a Loan.

Let’s not forget the CLOSING COST!

When you purchase a home there will be closing cost that the buyer will have to pay, but NO WORRIES! The buyer can ask the seller for closing cost assistance. Speak with your Realtor to come up with a strategy. You can purchase a home without having to pay a down payment or closing cost. The last few buyers that I worked with didn’t have to pay a down payment or closing cost.

What are the out of pocket costs to a buyer?

When you make an offer the seller will require an Earnest Money Deposit. In the Woodbridge Virginia area the Earnest Money ranges anywhere from $1000 – $7000. The higher your Earnest Money payment the more serious the seller will take your offer. After your offer is accepted and you are on your way to home ownership the Earnest Money will be deposited in an escrow account until closing and then applied to your funds.

Home Inspection

This will be your next out of pocket cost. Within a couple of days (generally 10 days or less) a Home Inspection will be conducted. You will pay the Home Inspector after the inspection generally by check. The Home Inspection will cost anywhere from $ 200 – $ 700 depending on the home that you are purchasing.

Appraisal

Most of the time the cost for the appraisal will be paid at closing. However your lender might ask for a credit card to secure the cost for the appraisal. Cost of the appraisal is anywhere from $ 300 – $ 600.

Homeowners Insurance

You will have to apply for homeowners insurance. With most insurance companies the insurance will be paid at closing, in some instances you might have to pay the insurance upfront.

So I guess the answer to the question can I purchase a home without any out of pocket money is YES and NO. You will always need money for items such as, Earnest Money Deposit, Home Inspection, Appraisal or Insurance, but if your Realtor can negotiate closing cost assistance for you and you qualify for one of the ZERO down payment loans the answer would be yes.

Are you making your landlord rich? The cost of Renting

Posted on by
Are you making your landlord rich? 
The cost of Renting 

Are you renting right now? If so you might be making your landlord rich. Don’t get me wrong I love good tenants. Tenants that pay on time and stay for a long time, but I am saying this from a landlord’s perspective. I own investment properties and my intention is for the tenants to help me built equity, as you can see in the above video.

Ask yourself why are you making your landlord rich? Is it out of convenience? Principle? Or do you need to work on your credit? Well, the first and last one can easily be overcome. Earlier today I spoke with one of my friends who wants to purchase a home but her husband isn’t convinced, so she asked me to meet her and her husband to talk some sense into him. My friends husband happens to be a veteran and has a VA loan eligibility. Well, from a Realtors perspective this is a no brainer, he should purchase a home as he can without any downpayment. They own a home in a different state which is currently rented out and they are even making a profit on that home. With the husband being VA they can purchase another property and own another VA loan totaling both loans $625 k. The VA limit in Virginia is currently $625 k.

So long story short I will be having drinks with my friend and her husband next week and explain to him why he shouldn’t be wasting money on rent. Especially since they are planning on staying in this area for longer. My friend and her husband pay $2,2000.- per months in rent. They have been renting for two years. That is 24 x 2200 which equals a lot of money paid towards the landlords mortgage and the landlords equity. The tenants don’t have any tax advantages by renting.

Yes, if you are renting you don’t have any headaches about appliances breaking down, a leaking roof or a broken down AC. The landlord will fix all this. Let me tell you a secret, yes as a landlord I pay for items that are breaking, but I happen to have a home warranty, which covers most items in my investment properties. 


If you are tired of renting and tired of making your landlord rich contact me today. (I just hope my tenants don’t see this blog post, just kidding)

The importance of getting a pre-approval

Posted on by
The importance of getting a pre-approval 
Are you considering purchasing a home in or around the Woodbridge VA area? If you are in the market for a new home the very first thing you should do is getting pre-qualified by a lender.

Before you start looking at homes, before you are falling in love with a home make sure your finances are straight. You might qualify for a million dollar home, but you might not be comfortable with a mortgage payment for a million dollar home. You might have some blemishes on your credit that need to be corrected prior to purchasing a home. No matter what your situation is, contact a lender first.

As a real estate agent, I always get calls from buyers that haven’t made an application with a lender yet and I see it all the time that buyers fall in love with a certain home just to learn that they don’t yet qualify or that the monthly payment is a little bit out of their comfort zone.

Purchasing a new home is a commitment and you want to make sure your finances are where they need to be to making that step.



You can always start looking at homes until your pre-qualification or pre-approval letter is issued. You can easily look at homes on my website at: www.ClaudiaSNelson.com  Starting your search online until the lender gives you the official go ahead is always a great idea. This way you already know what homes are out there and what you might like.

If you have questions or would like to be connected with a lender contact me today at 571-446-0002

Does your Woodbridge VA Home need repairs?
 
Are you looking for a good Handyman?
 
 
One of my friends recently had a leak in her roof. She was soo worried about her house and she wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible but also didn't want to spend an arm and a leg to get it all fixed. I hooked her up with one of my contractors, the contractor fixed her roof quickly and at an affordable price. She now has almost half of her roof replaced, no more leak and can sleep at night without worrying. 
 
When it comes to connecting with local contractors, I, as a Real Estate are at the front and always connect with excellent local Woodbridge and surrounding area contractors.
