100% Mortgage Financing Makes An Appearance

Just to prove (again) what we already know, the mortgage industry swings like a pendulum from super conservative (like we've experienced the past few years) to stupid exuberance (like we witnessed in the first half of the last decade). You might have thought that 100% mortgage financing was dead forever after the tumultuous financial crisis our country has endured. Not so fast!

100% Mortgage Financing with No Down Payment!
Like a the late summer days that get shorter and shorter, small signs of the pendulum reversing direction are appearing. For example, take this recent announcement:

For a limited time, with NASA Federal Credit Union (yes, that NASA) you can get a mortgage option not readily available through other lenders. This is a unique loan that does not require mortgage insurance, and is available for new primary residence purchases or refinances of a current primary residence, in Maryland, Virginia or the District of Columbia (DC).

NASA FCU is offering up to 100% financing for a primary residence purchase up to $650,000 (95% financing from $650,001 up to $850,000) and up to 95% cash out refinancing on a primary residence up to $650,000 (90% cash out from $650,001 up to $850,000).

Limited Time and Limited Geography
The offer is for a limited time, in limited states, only for primary residences and only for those with top notch credit so it's not like the credit union is taking on a whole bunch of risky loans. However, it's a sign of the times. Banks are under pressure from stakeholders to deliver results. Improved results require more loan volume. NASA FCU's campaign may just be a blip on the screen in today's environment but this may be the first domino to fall in a multi-year course reversal for the mortgage market that brings us back to the stupid exuberance that got us in trouble to begin with.

For folks with credit challenges there are still loan down payment mortgage options. Loan programs backed by the FHA may be a fit for you. FHA loans place more emphasis on your job income and monthly debt payments than on your credit score. Convenient online mortgage matching services like Lending Tree allow you to submit your information once and be connected with multiple competing lenders.

Mortgages For Credit Scores 580 And Below
Can't find a co-signer for a mortgage? Try an FHA loan. If your credit score is above 580 and you have good income and little other debt, you may qualify for a program with a down payment as low as 3.5%. If your score is below 580 you may still get approved, but the down payment minimum jumps to 10%. Just submit a single loan request and Lending Tree will put you in touch with multiple competing lenders. Even if the Lending Tree system tells you that you may not qualify for a conventional loan, go to the FHA Loan section of their website and try that route.
