Why do a balloon loan over a fixed loan?
In most cases, our conventional in-house loan product only requires 10% down with no mortgage insurance. On the secondary market to avoid PMI, you’d have to put 20% down otherwise pay the monthly mortgage insurance premium. Additionally, with credit committee approval, some borrowers with lower credit scores who could be candidates for FHA financing can purchase homes that wouldn’t otherwise meet FHA standards. This allows them more flexibility on which home they choose to purchase.
Our conventional in-house mortgage rates are often very competitive to the secondary market. They are a great option for situations where you may not stay in your home for a very long time, a second home or investment property, or borrowers looking for a lower interest rate. In the first 1/2 of your loan, you are paying primarily interest making a lower interest rate that much more important.
