If you don’t have the funds to pay the standard 20% (or 15% or even 10%), Movement has several low down payment loan options you can see if you qualify for – even as low as 0%. A few that may be right for you include:

• FHA loans, if you need flexible options
• Fannie Mae HomeReady, for those with low-to-moderate income
• USDA loans, for living in rural areas with 0% down

Movement offers renovation loans, including FHA 203k and Fannie Mae HomeStyle programs, to help homebuyers get a single loan for both purchase and renovation costs. Any of these renovation loan programs can:

• Help you improve or upgrade your home before move-in
• Save your loan approval by increasing the value of a worn down or neglected property
• Save you from separate financing for home purchase and renovation costs
• Increase the value of the property, improving your equity investment

Movement Mortgage may be able to help you refinance your home, depending on your current rate and length of time you’ve owned your home. If the time is right to lock in a better mortgage rate, you can switch from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate, or take advantage of a new, lower rate with our refinance loans.
