New Financing Option Makes Mortgage Qualification Easier at Perimeter-Area Community
ATLANTA (July 23, 2008) – Villa Sonoma, a resort-style property known for its winning combination of upscale affordability, impeccable amenities and ideal location, has obtained FHA-loan approved status. The community was recently approved for all mortgages obtained with help from the Federal Housing Authority, and since approval has seen 75 percent of units sold financed with a FHA mortgage.
These mortgages offer more flexible qualifying guidelines for borrowers with reasonable debt-to-income ratios. Advantages of a FHA loan include:
- Smaller down payment requirement at the time of purchase (some as small as 3 percent)
- No minimum credit score requirement
- Ability to use financial gifts toward down payment and closing costs
- No income limits (there are limits, however, as to how much one can borrow)
- Competitive interest rates
- No prepayment penalties
