Home Reward Credit



Home Reward Credit will lower the cost to buy or refinance your home and you can be eligible to obtain up to $10,000 in credits to pay your closing cost, and the best is that you don’t have to repay these credits and your interest rate will not increase, we will not add more cost to your loan.

Colonial Mortgage does not act on behalf on any federal or state agencies and for that reason Home Reward Credit does not require income limits. Home Reward Credit is only for FHA, va and conforming loan limits based on county limits. Home Reward Credit is not limited to first time home buyers, you can purchase or refinance your primary residence, second home or investment property. Home reward credit is available for the following professions; law enforcement, medical field, postal workers, educational, active or honorable discharge military personnel, first responders and all city or county employees. At Colonial Mortgage, we believe in giving back to the ones who serve our communities.

Government Loans

VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION
VA helps Service members, Veterans, and eligible surviving spouses become homeowners. As part of our mission to serve you, we provide a home loan guaranty benefit and other housing-related programs to help you buy, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home for your own personal occupancy.

VA Home Loans are provided by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies. VA guarantees a portion of the loan, enabling the lender to provide you with more favorable terms.

VA REFINANCE
Standard rate and term and cash out. VA's Cash-Out Refinance Loan is for homeowners who want to take cash out of your home equity to take care of concerns like paying off debt, funding school, or making home improvements. The Cash-Out Refinance Loan can also be used to refinance a non-VA loan into a VA loan. VA will guaranty loans up to 100% of the value of your home.

VA PURCHASE
Standard VA for veteran. With a Purchase Loan, VA can help you purchase a home at a competitive interest rate, and if you have found it difficult to find other financing.

USDA (AKA RURAL DEVELOPMENT LOAN)
Standard purchase and rate and term.

A USDA loan (also called a Rural Development Loan) is a government insured home loan that allows you purchase a home with NO Money Down. USDA Home Loans offer 100% financing to qualified buyers, and allow for all closing costs to be either paid for by the seller or financed into the loan. USDA offers some the lowest rates of any loan, and you will always have a fixed interest rate.

Non-Conventional Loans

Business owners tend to lean towards Non-Conventional Loans because they allow the borrower to prove they can pay back the loan without the typical requirements of other financial products. For example, proof of income without a W2.

PRO

  • Alternative options for Business owners.
  • Alternative for a non-Qualified Mortgage.
  • Alternative to a hard money loan.
  • Options for buyers with recent foreclosures, bankruptcy or short sale.

CONS
  • Higher closing cost. Points are charged.
  • Most loan terms are for a short period.
  • TYPES OF NON-CONVENTIONAL LOANS
  • Jumbo Loans
  • Foreign National
  • Non-Warrantable Condos

Conventional Loans

Conventional Loans are for buyers with good credit, savings and the ability to put down a larger payment. With 20% down a borrower avoids Mortgage Insurance costs associated with other loans, therefore saving money. This is good for borrowers looking to purchase an investment property.

PROS

  • Easy approval process based on automated underwriting system findings.
  • 1 year taxes allowed.
  • Ability to have a single pay or monthly on mortgage insurance, or lender paid.
  • Most condos qualify and depending on down payment allow a limited review.
  • You can remove the Mortgage Insurance after proof of equity of 20%

CONS
  • Higher Down payment.
  • Harder to qualify with low credit score.
  • Longer waiting periods after bankruptcy, loan modification, short sale and foreclosure.
  • Mortgage insurance and rate determined by Fico Score and loan-to-value.

I-TIN Products

PROS
  • Most banks are not doing it.
  • It's better than a hard money loan.
  • No Social Security Card required.
  • No traditional credit is required just non-traditional.
  • No documents necessary to prove legal status in USA.

CONS
  • Higher Down payment is required.
  • Higher than conventional rates and closing cost.
  • No investment properties allowed.
  • LOANS FOR YOUR UNDOCUMENTED BUYERS:
  • Are your buyers undocumented and living in the USA?
  • Are they missing a Social Security Card or number?
  • Do they not have a Visa, Work Permit, or Green Card?

THIS IS THE LOAN YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR! HERE IS WHAT THEY NEED TO QUALIFY:
