A New Start
FHA Loans
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Loans are insured by the government and designed to help low- to moderate-income families attain home ownership. FHA loans are very popular with first-time homebuyers; however, that is not a determining factor. You can own another home and still qualify.
FHA lending extends financing for as little as 3.5% down! This small down payment can be in the form of a gift from a family member, a gift from an employer, an auto equity loan, or simply your own available funds. The seller is even allowed to pay up to 6% towards ‘seller paid closing costs’ on behalf of the buyer.
Buyers can take advantage of many great FHA loan features like a 30, 20, 15 or 10-year term, lower appraisal costs, and minimum credit score requirements.

From The Outskirts
Rural Development Loans
Rural Development Loans offer 100% financing to households that do not exceed more than $74,500.00 annual income.
You do not have to be a ‘first time homebuyer’ in order to obtain a RD loan; but, you cannot currently own another home & be eligible to purchase another one with RD financing! There is no time limit after you sell your home to be eligible for a RD loan and the seller is allowed to pay up to 6% towards ‘seller paid closing costs’ on behalf of the buyer.
Rural Development loans can only be acquired in a 30 year mortgage loan. Rural Development loans for properties located in Knox County have to be eligible according to the guidelines and those can be found here.

Construction Loans
We are now offering true one-time close Construction Loans! Build your own home by getting a home construction loan that can close in less than 60 days with us! At closing, lock your loan for 6, 9 or 12 months with a draw schedule of 10/80/10. Build your home and pay the loan back with available loan terms of 30, 25, 20, 15, or 10 years. Qualified constructions can be for a single-family home or a modular and manufactured home as long as it's on a permanent foundation and a double wide or larger. Qualified borrowers would fall within the two types of available construction loans below.
1. Borrower already owns the land & chooses a licensed builder to build the home on their land. Our team can typically use the land as the down payment, pending appraised value and equity amount. We then offer Conventional loans up to 95% loan to value and close this as a Refinance. For FHA and Veterans Affairs loans, we close these as purchases and will lend up to 96.5% of loan to value for FHA and up to 100% loan to value for VA.
2. Borrower does not own the land and needs to purchase it with the transaction. These are called a Land + Home package from us, and your loan would close as a purchase with the following loan to value terms: Conventional loan up to 95%, FHA loan up to 96.5%, or Veterans Affairs loan up to 100%.
