Whats the best 100% morgage for a first time buyer?

Answer 1

I am so against 100% loans when they can be avoided. They are usually interest only loans for a certain amount of time, then you have to pay back the interest and principal, but the principal payments are higher because you have to make up for the principal you didn't pay while it was interest only. Most people aren't prepared for that. Additionally you have to pay impounds (escrow accounts) which is your property taxes and insurance on a monthly basis. It all adds up to being stretched too tight usually.

Look at the foreclosure lists .. I'm willing to bet a good 60% of them are because of the 100% loans.

Save whatever money you can and buy a home when you can put at least a 10 - 20% down payment. It's so worth it.

Answer 2

The answers you are getting are not really right. It is not true that it is hard to get 100% if you don't have perfect credit and most 100% programs are not interest only. It is true that if you can put down a payment that is good, but I have done a lot of 100% programs and all of my borrowers are still in their homes.
The best is something no one is going to be able to answer unless they have all of you information. There is no way to tell what you can get unless the Loan Officer has your credit and you application. So everything about the best product is just a guess. Go into an Loan Officer and get hem to help you. Check out a couple from different companies and find the one that can get you the best deal.

I hope this helps you.

A 100% mortgage is ideal if you're looking to buy a home but don't have a deposit. Ideal if you're a first-time buyer getting your foot on the first rung of the property ladder. If you aren't sure how much you can borrow, use our tools. Or browse the table to find the rate to suit you. Apply, and we'll give you a decision in minutes!

Please note: if you borrow over 90% of the value of your house, you may be charged a Higher Lending Charge (HLC). This charge reflects the increased risk to the lender when the loan is a large percentage of the value of the property. You can choose to add any HLC to your mortgage, increasing the overall amount payable

Answer 4

Unless you are a vet, or have extremely good credit, a 100% loan is very difficult to get. Assuming you do qualify, the best would be the one from a well rated loan institution with the best interest on the loan.

Answer 5

Some very good answers, there are some additional 'factors' before getting an answer... but the best answer is to call me, I could find you a good lender, with a good loan program & I don't charge an arm or a leg.
