This New FHA Streamlined Refinancing will allow homeowners, who already have an FHA loan on their primary residence, to refinance with very little hassle…

• No Appraisal
• No Proof of Income
• No Credit Check
• No Proof of Employment

The only requirements other than an existing FHA loan are that you are current on your mortgage payments & have not had any late payments in the past year.  That’s it!

So…you see it is obviously easier, but it is cheaper as well.

The typical upfront fee for an FHA loan is 1% of the loan amount.  This fee has been lowered to only .01%.  So for every $100,000 you are financing, you will pay $10 instead of $1000…that is a huge savings!

Annual Mortgage Insurance Premiums are also being cut significantly to .55% of loan balance.  This will also help to reduce monthly payments.

Typically when you refinance, the appraisal must show that the home is worth equal to or more than you owe on the property.  With no appraisal required, you can actually now refinance even if you owe more than the home is worth, if you are “underwater.”  This will help many who are struggling to lower their payments & get back on top of their mortgages!

There is one more catch to all of this good news… These new changes only apply to homeowners who took out their current FHA mortgage prior to June 1, 2009.

To find out more & to see if you qualify, give us a call (210) 209-8711 or shoot us an email today, so that we can connect you with a qualified FHA Mortgage Lender.
