The minimum amount of the down payment required for a conventional loan is 5% (we got one last year) and since its less than 20% you would have to pay PMI. One difference is that with conventional loans the PMI goes away (with a call or maybe a wand) after you pay down 20-25%, whereas FHA you pay the PMI or MIP until the loan is paid off.
@adamgarrett76658 жыл бұрын
+Andrew Shepherd Excellent point. As I watched this video, I was also thinking about 5% conventionals available, especially since I'm planning on using one for my first real estate investment. Another thing to keep in mind with PMI with conventional loans is that it can vary highly based on your credit, unlike FHA loans. I've seen an example where the difference between scores of 720 something and 740 something was almost double.

There's an 8 plex in my area for sale for 175K, that is in liveable condition and brings in about 2K in rent a month. Would you consider getting a bigger loan to upgrade your units, and to possibly cover any unexpected costs that'll happen in the first few years? #AskBP I'm trying to look for my answer on my own by searching loan on your guys videos. Thanks for the fabulous work you guys do. I notice there isn't any ads on this video, you guys should apply for youtube partnership.

I have a situation i'd love your input on. I make 50k a year and my monthly bills are around $300 That being said I currently save atleast $2000 a month and i am currently at $7000 in my savings. I am 22 and aiming for $80,000 for my first home, I'm torn between saving up 20% and using a conventional loan or using a FHA 203k loan and doing renovations for a few years and then moving up in the market via selling and buying a larger home. Which option is more wise in your opinion? Saving the 20% and staying in the home until i own it outright or using the FHA 203k to not tie up all of my savings and profit from the renovations?

I say use an FHA loan for a multi family you can put like 25-30k down possibly less also including closing costs and you’ll be able to have tenants pay it off for you while saving more and gaining potential cash flow right off the bat whether its $100 or $150 cash flow while saving towards a second property. And in a year or so you can use what you saved and or use a HELOC towards your second home. You’re in a great position, brainstorm and take action keep us updated. It’s been five months but I’m curious as to where you currently are if you’ve made a move or not
@braceyourselvesfortruth24925 жыл бұрын
Hi Angus, I hope the savings scheme is still working as well for you. In your situation I would probably recommend the conventional. You will have a low mortgage payment and you will still be easily able to save money and progressively work on renovations. I'm assuming you're single and don't have many other bills but you may want to also stash a few thousand dollars as an emergency fund just so you aren't depleted when you buy your home. The FHA program, while flexible, will cause your mortgage to be higher IN ADDITION TO the PMI you will need to pay. If you're planning on living there for a few years, you WILL end up paying the difference you initially saved. It also may not be a good idea to take on reno ambitions so early on in your home ownership experience, unless you grew up with a parent who was a contractor or else personally know someone who is experienced in flips very well. You will have plenty of time to build your savings back up with the monthly cost savings of a conventional, and you will probably make more disciplined decisions regarding remodeling as a result. In other words, you won't be tempted by a $15-20k pile of cash, eyeing stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Some renos will actually not do much to raise the value of your home, but that also depends on location and mere timing of the market. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Just because you can’t use an FHA loan on a rental property doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t rent it out and make money from it. You can get a Single family home and live in one room and rent out the other rooms to friends or college students. You can also find a property with a basement and finish the basement with a bathroom and kitchen and make it into a studio then rent out the house and you still live there. You have tenants paying your rent and possibly your bills. House hack doesn’t always mean multi family. If you DO NOT plan on living on the property then FHA is a no go for you. I believe you can use FHA loan and after you pay off at least 20% of the loan you can refinance into a conventional loan and move out to either do another FHA loan or conventional.

All about Conventional Loan( The BEST loan) The Conventional loan limit is 417000 it hard to get approve depending on your income. 1) Conventional loan request minimum credit score 620 and up the higher Credit score the lower chance of better rate. 2) Down-payment as low as 3 percent where as FHA request 3.5. NOT a request for 20% down anywhere in United State. 3) Beyer is not subject to mortgage insurance (MI) where as FHA loan need to pay. 4) Conventional loan can be used finance about any property but FHA restrict. You will qualify for a) 7 year since foreclosure b) 4 year since short sale. c) 4 year since bankruptcy. If you can down 20 % it's great. but I recommend 5% down minimum cause there is big different of saving money between 3% down and 5% down. Thanks
