New York FHA Jumbo NJ Mortgage

What is an FHA Jumbo loan?

FHA loan amounts that are over $417,000 are called "FHA Jumbo Loans" and carry very similar terms and interest rates as the lower FHA mortgage amounts. FHA Jumbo Mortgages allow a home buyer to purchase a home and finance up to 96.5% of the purchase price. Other loan programs do not allow for such a high Loan To Value in today's lending climate. This is one of the reasons that FHA mortgage loans are so popular today.

FHA JUMBO LOANS have become the most popular loan type in America today and for good reason. FHA JUMBO Mortgages allow for a much higher Loan-to-Value (LTV) when compared to conventional loans and FHA loans carry very low interest rates over a broad range of credit profiles.

Unlike the so-called "conforming jumbo" loans offered by government-sponsored Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac), the FHA jumbo loans may indeed help a lot of homeowners in NEW YORK and NEW JERSEY.

Since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require at least 10 percent down payment and 700 fico score, most homebuyers in high cost areas that are in need of a JUMBO LOAN, can now turn to FHA as they allow JUMBO LOANS WITH 3.5% DOWN PAYMENT ONLY and only a 620 fico score requirement
