Hey all,
Looking to get a short list of trusted home inspectors near Beaufort South Carolina. We will be buying the property site unseen and want someone very thorough that can get to the property relatively quickly after we decide.

Quote from @Patrick Roberts:
What can you tell me about the one for all of SC? We are looking at Beaufort. Will this only work for a conventional loan?
Quote from @Thomas Sehon:
We only have the liquid funds to put 3.5% down for the area we are looking which is why we are thinking FHA.
We are considering sun west mortgage but open to other suggestions.
3% down with Conventional is possible in some scenarios. There are also two solid downpayment assistance programs - one for Columbia specifically and one for anywhere in SC. I recommend exploring all your options as FHA has a nasty upfront fee and permanent mortgage insurance. I'm happy to take a look at this for you - just DM me.

Hello all,
We are looking to apply for our first loan and they’re wondering if it is best to go with a private lender or a bigger bank. And would love to understand anyone’s perspective on the differences or what they tend to prefer or look for.
Thank you in advance!
