Starting out with an FHA Primary residence in a high cost area, can give you the greatest investment with the lowest down payment.

House hacking with an FHA mortgage can be difficult in high cost area's.

Competition is fierce. You have to get ahead of the game and think outside the box to get your offer accepted on the home you dream of. FHA Primary residence in a high cost area, can give you the greatest investment with the lowest down payment. (Only 3.5% down & up to 6% sellers concessions- closing costs paid by seller and negotiated on at time of negotiation.)

  • When it comes to financing, typically clients get pre-approved with a loan officer. When a property is found they submit all of their required documentation along with the purchase offer.
  • To get ahead of the game, you can get pre-approved directly through underwriting, giving you a stronger offer than any other financing client who has just been pre-qualified. You would submit all your required documentation ahead of time to the loan officer who would then pass this on to the underwriter, proceeding to get you cleared by underwriting prior to the offer, rather than after, for a specific maximum price. This will help you to close quicker, as you can bypass most of the underwriting system ahead of time.
  • Offer a large deposit if offer accepted (maybe your 3.5% down along with an aggressive offer.) as you are now pre -approved versus being pre-qualified.
