Why pay rent when you can
buy a home with no out-of-pocket expenses?

 FHA financing let’s you buy a home with as little as 3% down and that down
payment can come from a third party or family member in the form of a gift.
 There are no income restrictions, and you don’t have to be a first time homebuyer to qualify for FHA financing.
 You don’t need perfect credit to qualify for FHA financing.
 30 year fixed FHA mortgage rates are at historic lows.
 Home prices are lower than they’ve been in 4-5 years.
 A parent, sibling or other family member may help you qualify for the mortgage as a non-occupant co-borrower.

In today’s market, sellers are eager to contribute up to, and in some cases, more than 6% of the purchase price to help cover the requisite 3% down payment and closing costs. Now is the time to take advantage of:

 Low interest rates.
 Seller’s willingness to negotiate.
 The best housing prices and inventory in several years.

If you are spending $1,500/m in rent, you may be able to afford a condominium or home priced in the $165,000 to $175,000 range for about the same amount each month. According to the latest Realtor multiple listing service figures, there are 35+/- properties listed in the Lakewood Ranch area in this price range.
