Effective Financing for Foreclosures with NO PMI insurance!

Do you ever see a property cheap enough to buy, but needs thousands of dollars in minor cosmetic repairs?  You don't have much money for a down payment because you want to save some of your money to fix up the home.  Usually an FHA loan is the best way to finance a property so that you can keep your down payment to a minimum. FHA requires certain repairs and defects to be completed prior to a new buyer taking ownership of a property.  Perhaps it is a bank-owned property who won't allow you to make any repairs or alterations to the property prior to taking ownership.  A simple solution would be an FHA 203K loan.  This product allows a buyer to finance the required repairs into the mortgage, with all of the work being done after the closing.
Lately, more and more people are upset about FHA's version of PMI insurance.  It is called Risk Premium.  It is the most expensive monthly PMI insurance on all types of mortgages.  The cost is anywhere between 125% to 250% higher than PMI insurance on conventional mortgages.  We offer conventional loans with as little as 5% down with NO PMI insurance.  Since most conventional mortgage underwriters normally don't call for cosmetic repairs to be completed prior to closing, this is a better alternative with properties that don't need major structural repairs.  So if you don't want PMI insurance on your loan, and wish to do as little as 5% down payment, this is a better alternative for many buyers.
