Looking for 100% financing in Pasco County or rural parts of Hillsborough County? USDA loans have been a blessing for Tampa Bay home buyers looking to purchase with no money down. See http://bizy.be/IKmmC for details.

The USDA Rural Housing fiscal year will be ending 9/30/2009.  Although USDA fully expects to receive funding for the 2010 fiscal year, they will only be issuing conditional commitments for any new loans that are submitted. Hence, lenders can still take loan applications but they cannot lock rates or issue approvals until USDA funds are replenished.

When the USDA is funded, it usually takes 45-60 days to close a transaction. Hence, the idea of using a USDA loan for a Tampa short sale is a bit risky…since short sale approval letters require a buyer to close within 30 days of signed addendums.

One of my favorite articles this year was Ignore the Headlines by Dan Kadlec of TIME Magazine. One key passage is:

Consider a typical home that sells for $218,900. You put down 20% and get a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at today’s rate of 5.5%. Monthly principal and interest come to $994.31. Let’s say that 12 months from now the same house goes for 10% less, or $197,010. But by then the recession is history and the Fed is jacking up rates to stem inflation. If mortgage costs rise a point, to 6.5%, your monthly payment would be $994.94 and you’d have saved nothing. Meanwhile, home prices might steady and sellers might become less willing to negotiate. And you have spent a year living someplace you’d rather not be. Full Article.    – post by Dale Bohannon
