No credit needed to buy a home with FmHA

When I was 18 I had a friend and his mother was a realtor. I was working and told her I was trying to spend some 'of my money is on a car or a house. I just wanted to spend money more wisely than it was at the time.

He asked me if I had the money to put down a house and I said how about $ 900. Then he informed me that was not enough to buy a house on a regular basis. I asked her why and she told me that because I was so young that would not have a good credit and would need a much lower payment. I asked how much bigger and said that I would need about 20% down.

I am very good at math and immediately picked up on this. I could get a house in the area of ​​$ 4500. This was the beginning of 1982 and not 1882. $ 4500 I do not get much more than land in Timbuktu with a trailer used for 30 years and no electrical or plumbing. Pretty easy to understand. I was beaten for all intense purposes of buying a home.

A few weeks passed and I was talking to her again and I said I had a little 'more than $ 1000 saved. I was working, of course, the same thing at this point. I told her I thought a car was a bad investment, but that I had applied for a car. loan. He asked what the down payment on the car and I was told my 1973 Pinto was used as the descent. He realized that meant he would still have all my money to put on a house.

Then he tells me that I might be able to get a house to house Administration farmers with nothing more down than escrow. I asked what is escrow? I said that was basically the money used to present the paper work and do surveys and so on. How is escrow? He said that around the area was generally less than $ 600. Well, this leaves me only with a deposit of just over $ 400 I said. He said that with FmHA would not need a down payment. She had already told me but I did it properly digest. Really? No down payment?

I asked when I could start on this tomorrow and I said, if I was serious. I was very serious. Why not own my home rather than renting? I went into his office the next day and had a few houses for me to watch. I chose the third we looked at. I really have no preference, I was 18. A house was a house. He said o.k. and pushed me back into his office and the job I signed the paper on the escrow.

Three weeks later I was the proud owner of an old house. It 'was a story and a half house with a Michigan basement and two car garage on two lots. It 'was great, I was a homeowner. Now I could make my own rules. No more signing of contracts with the owners. Heck! At that time a contract was not even for a whole year as it is now. I learned the process of how to buy a home through the farmers home administration in the process. What a fantastic program FmHA.

Each process has an order you have to do inside there is a real order sets out to do the jobs. This is the kind of confusion, I realize that it will show you what I mean. The first process tells you if your eligible for a loan from FmHA. The second process is the documentation required to sign the act. The latest is the 'paper work of selecting and buying a house.

You may be skeptical to read this because I'm talking about something that occurred in 1982. I recently took a second cousin and that was approved in Oakland County Michigan for $ 162,500 of the total loan, including compensation and the cost of the house.

Do not take any real time to make this whole venture buying house either. It took me within three weeks after the first visit by choosing the house with my mother's friends. Five years ago I told my sisters around the whole process and she was moved out within three weeks.

There are many great things about this program that does not concern me. It just does not want to put all that much information in this article one. I will write another article that will include recommendations on nearly everything you need to do in each process. Some things, like signing the abstract, there are many tips I can give. Uh! Oh yeah! Give your John Henry where they tell you. I think you gave a suggestion, after all....
