FHA MORTGAGE: A government sponsored mortgage program chosen by
many first time home-buyers (you don't necessarily have to be a first time home buyer, though)
because it requires only a small down payment of 3%. In addition, the credit requirements are
more relaxed than for similar 'conventional' mortgage programs.
VA MORTGAGE:
A government program for veterans that is similar to an FHA mortgage but doesn't
require a downpayment at all.
FHA AND VA LOANS COME IN BOTH 15 AND 30 YEAR MORTGAGE
TERMS.
There are many state-specific and county-specific programs available. Ask your Loan Officer
about any programs that may be available to you.
