HOW CAN I AVOID PMI WITH A CONVENTIONAL LOAN?
You can avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) through one of two ways: 1) Put 20% or more down on your home purchase. 2) Use a second lien to keep keep your first lien at or below 80% of the value/price of your home.
WHEN IS IT BEST TO PUT MORE DOWN ON A CONVENTIONAL LOAN?
It depends on your situation. Typically improvements on rate and terms happen in increments of 5% (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). Putting 7% down, for example, is not generally going to get you more favorable terms than 5% down; so to see an improvement, you would most likely need to put 10% down. Most of the time, our recommendation is that if you cannot reach the next increment of 5%, to just do the one that you can.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR REMODELING WITH A CONVENTIONAL LOAN?
Your options will vary based on the intended purpose of the house (primary, vacation, investment), the scope of the remodel, your timeline & your equity. There are some loan programs where certain types of improvements can be financed into the loan (such as the Fannie Mae HomeStyle program), in other cases you may need to do a second lien after closing.
CAN I BUY A VACATION OR INVESTMENT HOME WITH A CONVENTIONAL LOAN?
Yes. Assuming you qualify to carry the debt in addition to your primary residence.
