Interest Rates are down from last Friday.  Did you know that Smart Financial Mortgage has access to an FHA Down Payment Assistance Loan Program which allows buyers to only need a down payment of just over 1%?  Buyers do not need to be first time homebuyers but they cannot own any other real estate and must make less than $73,830/year.  The buyer needs the income/credit to qualify for an FHA loan and this program can only be used for a Primary Residence purchase.  The rates and closing costs are higher than a standard FHA loan but the lower down payment requirement might be worth the tradeoff to many buyers.  Feel free to call or email for more details on this program.

As of 11/20/2008 based on a 200k Primary Residence Purchase (or a no cash out refi), 720+ Credit, Full Doc Income Verification, paying no discount points and no origination fee.  Please note, this information is intended for Real Estate Professionals.
