Would you like to buy a foreclosure? Would you like to have a down payment of $0?
Leading up to the peak of real estate prices, many toxic loans were issued. These loans had sneaky terms where the borrowers ended up paying more than they could afford. Many of the banks that made those loans have gone into receivership with the US government. Prior to the receivership, many of the homes were foreclosed upon. The end result is an unprecedented opportunity for many Americans. That opportunity is the ability to buy government foreclosures with down payments of less than $1,000. In fact, many of the homes qualify for special financing where the down payment is as low as $100 and some are even $0.
How can you get in on the action? Easy! Contact your local VA Home Loan Center and get connected. In an effort to stimulate the economy and liquidate government owned real estate assets (REO's), VA HLC has created a one stop shop wherein those who can afford to pay rent, can now afford a home of their own. Designed with these objectives in mind, government owned repossessed homes can be purchased with little to no money down. The buyers do however; have to place a refundable deposit into escrow once they have chosen a home. Here are some benefits of using VA Home Loan Centers to buy a government owned foreclosure.
VA home loan centers in the past only worked with veterans who have served the country in some form of military service. Currently, in an effort to stimulate the economy, VA home loan centers are making available government funded subsidized mortgage loans for non veterans. The FHA 203k rehabilitation loan is intended to be used to repair fixer uppers. For these loans you will receive money for home improvement and also to buy the house. The down payment can be as little as $100. Other government loan products issued by VA HLC include USDA $0 down rural and farm loans.
Looking for the best property is not the first step in the government foreclosure purchasing process. It is very important to not skip the qualification process and fill out the VA home loan application before searching for homes. The reason is that most foreclosure bids require pre-approval. It is important to receive a pre-approval letter directly from VA HLC or an approved lender. In addition to this, VA HLC
All recipients are required to certify that they will live in the home.
Taking advantage of the empty foreclosures in the area is a great way to become a homeowner. The VA home loan program is also open to first time buyers who meet the loan qualifications. Stop by or contact your local VA Home Loan Center for more information on obtaining a home through foreclosure.
