New and Improved USDA Refinance Pilot Program is available for the following States: AL, AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MS, NV, NJ, NM, NC, OH, OR, RI, SC and TN.
A few days ago interest rates hit the lowest level in recorded history - and because of this, many homeowners may be able to reduce their interest rate by 1% or more and reduce their current monthly mortgage payment!
Below is a list of program benefits and qualifying criteria.
PROGRAM BENEFITS:
o Lower 30 year fixed interest rates
o Reduced documentation
o Income verified for "household income limits" only
o Employment verified only
o NO assets required
o NO appraisal required
o NO out-of-pocket expenses - closing costs can NOW be financed into the loan
QUALIFYING CRITERIA:
o Mortgage must be current for the past 12 months
o Minimum credit score may be required - Fairway does require a minimum 640 credit score
o Household income limits still apply: (For Mississippi) 1-4 person household = $74,750.00 and 5-8 person household = $98,670.00
o Proposed interest rate MUST be at least 1% lower than existing interest rate
Restrictions apply and many homeowners may not qualify. For more information about this new program, please contact your local lender!
