Reno Mortgage Financing

Balloon Payment Loan: A fixed rate loan that is amortized over 30 years but becomes due and payable at the end of a certain term. May be extendable or may roll-over into another type of loan.

Buy-Down Loan: Buy-down loans are fixed rate loans where the interest rate and the payment are reduced for a specific period of time by paying the interest up front to subsidize the lower payment.

Community Homebuyer's Program: A fixed rate loan for first-time buyers with a low down payment, usually 3-5%, no cash reserve requirement and easier qualifying ratios. Subject to borrower meeting income limits and attendance of a four hour training course on home ownership.

Conventional Loan: Conventional loans are sometimes more lenient with the appraisal and condition of the property. When you are buying a "fixer upper" you may need to use a conventional loan. Home purchased above the FHA loan limit of $252,700 are usually financed with conventional loans.

FHA Loan: FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration under H.U.D. They offer a low down payment and are easier to qualify for than conventional loans.

Fixed Rate Loan: A fixed rate loan has one interest rate that remains constant throughout the life of the loan.

Graduated Payment Mortgage: A fixed rate loan that has payments starting lower than a standard fixed rate loan, which then increases by a predetermined amount each year for a set number of years.

Non-Qualifying Loan: Non-qualifying loans are preexisting loans that can be assumed by a buyer from the seller of a property without going through the qualifying process. The buyer pays the seller for their equity and then starts making payments.
