100% Financing in Gloucester County, NJ

100% Financing in Gloucester County, NJ

Gloucester County Mortgage 100% Financing - Steve KappreThere are 100% financing options available in this current market. 100% financing is available to many buyers, not just first time buyers. And the rates are great, often the same rate as a conventional or FHA mortgages, sometimes even lower.

There are additional benefits to this 100% financing loan, including the option to have the seller pay some or even all of your closing costs. In a typical purchase transaction, one that is negotiated and structured by a good Realtor and mortgage professional, you will end up needing little money when all is said and done.

Some Things to Expect

There are some items that you will have to pay for upfront, and these typically include: An appraisal (@$350), a deposit when you come to terms regarding a purchase price on a home (@$500-$3,000+), a pest inspection (@$55), and a home inspection (@$300-$400) if you choose to have one. So estimate to need at least $900 of your own money to start.

If negotiated and structured well, you can actually go to settlement and get most or all of your money back. It isn't magic - you just need to work with well experienced professionals. If you are looking to buy a home in the South Jersey area and/or Gloucester County, feel free to contact Steve Kappre by e-mail, phone, or text.

$8,000 FIRST TIME BUYER TAX CREDIT - CHECK RECEIVED !!!!

Great info from my friend Sheldon! That's one NICE check to cash!!

Via Sheldon Neal -- That British Agent -- (Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited):

 

 

 

This is an actual check from one of my First Time Buyers who bought a home last month, and immediately filed his 2008 tax return - which he had already filed an extension for - and this week received the above check !

 

... before his home purchase, his return was going to give him a refund of approximately $4,000 !!!! ... as you can see, he qualified for the tax credit, and received $8,000 additional dollars from the government for buying his home.

 

@@@ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION - BE SURE TO CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNTANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS YOURSELF @@@

 

Per the IRS.gov website, you may qualify to receive this credit if you meet the following qualifications:

"... qualifying taxpayers who buy a home before Dec. 1, 2009, can claim the credit on either their 2008 or 2009 tax returns. They do not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their main home for 36 months after the purchase date. They can claim 10 percent of the purchase price up to $8,000, or $4,000 for married individuals filing separately.

The amount of the credit begins to phase out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is more than $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers.

For purposes of the credit, you are considered to be a first-time homebuyer if you, and your spouse if you are married, did not own any other main home during the three-year period ending on the date of purchase."

 The credit itself:

  • Applies to purchases that close after April 8, 2008, and before Dec. 1, 2009.
  • Applies only to homes used as a taxpayer's principal residence.
  • Reduces a taxpayer's tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar.
  • Is fully refundable, meaning the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax owed.

 

So if you were considering buying a home this year - be sure to talk to your accountant as you may also qualify to get $8,000 extra dollars for buying your first home !

 

ALSO: Be sure to check out a post  from respected Loan Officer Jeff Belonger explaining how you may be able to receive an 'up front loan' for this credit to use towards closing costs or additional downpayment over your mandatory 3.5% payment on your FHA loan !

@@@PLEASE NOTE: ALL INFORMATION ABOVE DEEMED RELIABLE PER THE IRS.GOV WEBSITE, HOWEVER IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY POINT ON ANY DAY ! - CONSULT YOUR TAX ACCOUNTANT BEFORE EXPECTING ANY PORTION OF THIS CREDIT.

@@@@ UPDATED: BELOW IS THE FORM NEEDED TO FILE FOR THIS CREDIT IF YOU QUALIFY - YOUR ACCOUNTANT SHOULD HAVE IT AND WALK YOU THOUGH IT ! GOOD LUCK !

NJ First Time Home Buyer Grant Program

New Jersey First Time Home Buyer Mortgage rates have changed.  The new rates are more familiar to us that have been in the NJ mortgage market for a while. First-Time Buyer rates were uncharacteristically much higher for the last several months, but have come down to where they actually make sense again for buyers. 

Important Note: A first-time buyer is considered someone who hasn't owned a home in the last three years.  So if that is you, then you can take advantage of this grant program. Grants are available from 2-4% of the purchase price, so for a $200,000 home your grant will be from $4,000 - $8,000, depending on which option you choose.

These first-time buyer loans can be up to 100% financing, and are 30-year fixed loans. These loans have income limitations, but have very high limits considering.

First Time Home Buyer 30 Year Term

5.750% - First Mortgage with no grant assistance

6.125% - First Mortgage with 2% grant assistance

6.250% - First Mortgage with 3% grant assistance

6.500% - First Mortgage with 4% grant assistance

The 40 year team requires an additional add-on of .125%

Also Available:

Tax Credit "Prefund" Mortgage Program

Purchase/Rehabilitation Mortgage Program

Live Where You Work Program

Treasury Mortgage is one of two servicers in the state of New Jersey to handle these first-time buyer grant programs. If you are considering this type of program, why not start with the end in mind? We will service this loan from day one, which also gives us more flexability regarding your loan.
