FHA loans are an attractive opportunity. These home mortgages have easier qualifying guidelines, and the minimum down payment is just 3.5% of the loan amount. Those easy terms appeal to both investors who want to buy a rental property and home buyers who intend to occupy the home themselves. However, only owner-occupants can qualify. The question, is how […]
Everyone deserves to live in a decent, safe, and sanitary home. But not everyone can afford a home that meets those criteria. That’s why the federal government offers the Section 8 Housing Choice voucher program, which subsidies rent for very low-income families, as well as elderly and disabled people.
