The purpose of this unit is to familiarize the learner with common types of government financing loan programs where agency administration of the loan is a federal or state entity. Some lenders specialize in only some particular loan programs (Conventional only, see Ch 3); other lenders offer broader varieties (Conventional, government & private). Federal programs: FHA and DVA State program: Cal Vet Others: Refinance, Energy Efficient, Small Business Administration (SBA), first time home buyer (FTHB). The mortgage loan broker needs to know as many types of loans as possible to offer the potential borrower the best choices and to match the right borrower with the right investor’s loan funds.PREVIEW
