USDA RURAL HOUSING PROGRAM

The Rural Housing Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), offers loan programs that give qualified borrowers who wish to live in rural areas of Utah the ability to finance up to 100% with little or no down payment and favorable rates and terms.

Applicants for USDA Rural Housing loans may have an income of up to 115% of the median income for the area.

Homes in all counties of Utah except for Salt Lake and Davis and some areas of Utah County, Washington, Weber and Cache qualify for USDA Rural Housing financing.

FANNIE MAE HOME AFFORDABLE REFINANCE

Making Home Affordable Program, or HARP, is also known as a Fannie Mae Refi-Plus.  This program allows for Utah properties with Fannie Mae purchased loans to rate-and-term refinance without mortgage insurance (if there was no mortgage insurance on the original loan) up to 125% of the property’s appraised value.  Existing second mortgages can not be refinanced into the Home Affordable Refinance and must subordinate to the new first mortgage.

The expectation is that refinancing a Fannie Mae loan will put responsible borrowers in a better position by reducing their monthly principal and interest payments or moving them from a more risky loan structure (such as interest-only or short-term ARM) to a more stable loan product.

HOME PATH PROGRAMS

Home Path financing is for homes that have been foreclosed on by Fannie Mae. Home Path loans only need a 5% down payment, do not have mortgage insurance, do not need an appraisal and have flexible mortgage terms (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate or interest-only). You may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect.  Home Path loans are available to both owner-occupiers and investors.

The down payment can be funded by your own savings, a gift, a grant, or a loan from a nonprofit organization, state or local government, or your employer.
