CONFUCIUSEverything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Scott R. Neitzel,President, Homeservices Lending, LLC

Is it true it is diffi cult to be approved for an FHA loan?Defi nitely not! Th e Federal Housing Administration (FHA) reviews its policy from time to time to remain consistent with market conditions. A recent change is that the FHA will now allow a home to be fi nanced that was previously sold in the last 90 days and is

now being resold. Th is is important in our market as many foreclosures are sold to investors who purchase, repair and then market the home very quickly. Prior to this change the seller would have had to wait

91 days before entering into a contract to sell the property. Th is change will allow homes to sell as quickly as possible helping to stabilize real estate prices. Benefi ts of FHA fi nancing:1) 3.5% Minimum Down Payment.2) Low credit scores allowed.

3) Local maximum loan amounts as high as $423,750.

4) Entire down payment may be a gift.5) Seller may contribute up to 6% of purchase price to closing costs.Call me today for more information
