7/30/24 – Chenoa – 0 Down Loan to $1,191,300 There are many loan programs out there with down payment assistance, and today, I want to talk about the FHA Chenoa program. This loan program offers an FHA first mortgage and a private 10-year fixed-rate second mortgage. The first Mortgage is a 30-year fixed rate up to 96.5% of the purchase price, with a second mortgage for the remaining 3.5% down. The guidelines are the same as FHA, but we can only go down to a 620 credit score. There are no income limits, so your clients can make Millions of $$$. The maximum loan amount on the first in Los Angeles County is $1,149,625, which will allow you a purchase price of $1,191,300 with no money down. I know what you are thinking - what’s the catch? There are a few catches, such as the interest rate and payment are higher than a standard FHA loan. The second loan payment is also high, and the 10-year amortization makes the payment about $130.00 for every $10,000 you need on a second mortgage. Lastly, the payment is about 10% higher than an FHA loan with a 3.5% down payment. The good news is they can buy a house up to $1,191,300 with no money down. You can get the seller top pay closing costs and the buyer is in with $0 out of pocket! Cheaper than rent! Well, the payment may not be cheaper than rent, but lets look and see what the true cost would be to buy a house for $790K with no down! If you buy a house with 0 down and a $790,000 price, you will have the following payment: Principal and Interest = $5155.00 / Property Taxes $823.00 / Insurance $250.00 / PMI $444.00 / 2nd Mortgage $350.11 / Total = $7022.11 You will be paying off $9682.00 in the first year of ownership, which will increase annually. You can also write off about $52,400 in interest on our taxes, which will likely put an additional $12,582 back in your pocket from your tax return at the end of the year. They can check with their Accountant to confirm. Property values have increased by about 5.6% on average over the past 70 years, and if property values go up by just 4% per year, then the above Property will increase by $31,600.00 each year. So if all of the above holds, your payment will be $7022 – you will pay off $806, you will receive $1048.00 as a monthly tax refund, and your appreciation will be $2633 monthly. If all holds, the true cost of buying the above Property is $2535.00 monthly. THAT IS CHEAPER THAN RENT! Imagine a refinance in 6 months if rates go down 1% and you built a little more equity and can refinance the first and second together. Your payment would drop to the following: Principal and Interest = $4289.69 / Property Taxes $823.00 / Insurance $250.00 / PMI $444.00 / 2nd Mortgage $0 / Total = $5806.69 It’s hard to make money in real estate if you don’t get into the game!
