Non-Conventional Mortgages

Government backed loans by FHA and VA

We will help you get into your dream home because we offer a full array of mortgage products to fit your needs. This section is here to help you understand the Non-Conventional mortgage product. When you hear the term non-conventional, this is just another way to refer to a mortgage backed and secured by a department of the Federal Government.  This page is a combination explanation of FHA and VA loan products.

The loan term FHA stands for Federal Housing Administration. You may have also heard the abbreviation HUD. The abbreviation HUD stands for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. An FHA loan is a great and very popular mortgage product that is available with as little as a 3.5% down payment. You would really want to take advantage of FHA’s ability to lend with your low down payment of 3.5%. It really does not pay to put a large down payment on a home and still obtain FHA financing. There will still be mortgage insurance on an FHA loan even if you were to put more than a 20% down payment. As you can see, you might as well go with the low down payment option when using FHA financing. Unlike conventional loans, you will have to do a refinance to remove the mortgage insurance on an FHA loan.

A VA loan is a mortgage backed and secured by a department of the Federal Government. The loan term VA stands for Veterans Administration. A VA loan is a wonderful mortgage product that is available to our veterans. Veterans eligible for a VA loan can buy a home with 100% financing! A great highlight of a VA loan is that there is no monthly mortgage insurance. That’s right, even with 100% financing, there is no monthly mortgage insurance. This product is not available to everyone though. This is reserved for our United States veterans of the military.

  • VA up to 100% financing

  • FHA up to 96.5% financing
  • Low, fixed interest rates

  • VA has no monthly mortgage insurance

  • Easier guidelines

  • Assumable loan

Non-Conventional Requirements

The minimum credit score needed in order to obtain an FHA loan is 580. The minimum credit score needed in order to obtain a VA loan is 550. There are three credit bureaus that are considered when buying a home. The three credit bureaus are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each of these bureaus will give their own credit score (risk rating) for you. Sometimes, the credit bureaus will generate the same score only by coincidence, but most of the time you will see three different scores. The highest credit score given by any of the three bureaus is disregarded, the lowest credit score is then disregarded, and you are left with your middle credit score. The middle credit score is what is utilized to determine your eligibility and several other factors while obtaining a home loan. The property types allowed for conventional financing are single family homes, townhomes, villas, duplex(2 units), triplex (3 units), quadplex (4 units), and very few condos. Condos must already be FHA or VA approved in order to obtain FHA or VA financing. You are able to live in one of the multi unit homes (duplex, triplex, or quadplex) and have the rental income to be received on the other units count towards your income to help qualify. Income also needs to be verified while obtaining a conventional mortgage. If you are self-employed, we will review your two year most recent personal and business (if applicable) tax returns. If you are a wage-earner, someone that obtains a W2 at the end of the year, we will review your previous two year tax returns along with a current paystub. Don’t worry – if your previous income is significantly lower than your current income, we can use your higher income just as long as it is justified (increase in pay or a pay raise, promotion, working overtime hours, etc.). If you are retired, we would just need proof of your retirement income (Social Security, pension, etc.). We will also need to verify assets (bank statements) in order to obtain a conventional loan. Again, don’t worry – your funds to close can come as a gift just as long as it comes from an acceptable source (ie no cash money, unverifiable cash, etc.). Gift funds have to be verified but they are allowed.

Jason and his wonderful team got us approved for our first home. We originally started with another broker but we felt it was best to rethink the home buying process based off of approval amounts. But our amazing realtor said not to give up and introduce us to Jason and his team. And the results were amazing from his involvement from the first contact and even after has been above and beyond. Thank you Jason and AAA Capital Funding.

First time homebuyer here and I’m grateful that my experience was painless and successful. Jason Sarji kept me in the loop every step of the way and didn’t mind answering the million questions I had. The process was super quick. I found my home the first week of May and closed on June 1st. Less than a month. The home buying process can be scary and nerve wrecking and I can attest working with Jason made it a breeze… Best wishes you all and your new homes!!!

I thank God for Jason and his team. Jason was very professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with. He collaborated with our realtor. He explained the home-buying process to us and was very honest regarding what to expect from the market. He treated my husband and me like family. We closed in March!!! We are so grateful and glad we used AAA Capital Funding, Inc. for our mortgage needs, thank you, Jason, for your expertise and guidance during the whole process.

I was completely new to the home buying process. I tried preapprovals from known-name banks and was met with high rates and/or low loan amounts. I did some research and was advised to go with a local lender. With that, I did more research and landed on AAA Capital. I am very glad I was able to work with AAA Capital as Jason was fantastic and was able to quote my desired loan amount at 5.9%. In comparison to the previous quotes I received, this was acceptable.My overall experience of the home buying process was straightforward and easy. Going into this knowing nothing, I did not know what to expect, but Jason and my realtor guided me and explained things throughout the process. Jason was always responsive and really easy to communicate with, so I was always learning and aware of what is happening in real-time and what to expect next. I was preapproved in early August and found a house I liked in late August. My offer was accepted, and from there Jason was on point with getting things done. I was able to close at the end of September and can now say I am a homeowner! I have read/heard about negative experiences and how stressful buying a home can be, so I am genuinely grateful for how smooth my home buying experience with AAA Capital was. Thank you again Jason and team.
