    Hi Nicole! I want to buy a very small home this year. I am looking for out in the country on land that is as restriction free as possible. I do plan on a small amount of livestock and plenty of gardening. I wasn't rich before covid and I am a lot further away from that now. I will be needing to utilize down payment assistance and from watching your videos, I was say the USDA Rural Development program as well. So, far enough in the country to raise animals, close enough to drive into town to work.

    Hey Nicole, in the current market does having DP assistance effect the chances of the buyer to buy a home? For example, if I have 20% DP in part cash, part grant and another buyer has 20% DP in all cash, will sellers care how the DP is structured?

    • @NicoleNark
      @NicoleNark  3 года назад +7

      It can but maybe not directly...here is what I mean! Some states will require that the use of down payment assistance is disclosed in the offer. If that is the case, the seller may know that you are using down payment assistance and could have feelings about that. This is not something that would be disclosed to the seller in all states though. Additionally, in some cases, the use of down payment assistance may require a longer closing time or more funds as "seller concessions" these could also affect how the seller views your offer and makes their decision!

    Nicole , a question, you mentioned in one video about 3% down and you were not sure where the 20% came from. While discussing with one of 4 lenders I had an interest in working with he asked how much was I looking to put down 20% ? Can you offer additional insight on the importance of having your pre-approval , approved based on 3% v 20%

    • @NicoleNark
      @NicoleNark  3 года назад +1

      GREAT question Stephen! There is not a single loan that requires you to put 20% down. There are loan programs that start with as little as $0 down. With that said, you will pay mortgage insurance on your loan if you have less than 20% down on an FHA or Conventional loan. With a conventional loan if you put less than 20% down when you get to 20% built up in equity after a few years of making payments, that mortgage insurance will drop off. With an FHA loan however, mortgage insurance will be on the loan for the life of the loan. It is best to talk to your lender and compare monthly payments with different amounts as a down payment to see where you are comfortable!

    Hey Nicole! Thanks for the gold nuggets of wisdom on this topic. I would love to find out if I qualify for a down payment assistance loan. I live in Round Rock Tx. 15 minutes north of Austin Tx. I'm interested in buying here or surrounding areas. Could you help?

    Can Can I use a down payment assistant only well my husband and I are on the Mortgage or does my husband have to qualify for the down payment as well

    • @NicoleNark
      @NicoleNark  3 года назад

      If you are both on the loan, you would have to qualify for down payment assistance together with your combined income, credit scores, etc! With that said, if you have a good enough credit score and enough income, you should look into just one of you applying for the loan and using down payment assistance if your combined income with the two of you will be too high! Even if it is just one of you on the loan, you can always add you both on the title!
