FHA, Conventional or Cash??

 Some people want to know whether they should go out for an FHA loan or Conventional loan. Some people ask if cash buyers have more power.

Well to put it simply, without really having to say it, CASH WINS!...most of the time. Obviously if the FHA or Conventional buyer has a much higher offer, that bank is more likely to entertain it. But not always.

When a buyer comes in with cash it shows that they have the funds to close and will not have many conditions meet before they can close.

A Conventional loan buyer has more power than an FHA buyer because he/she is putting down 20% of the sales price. So a seller knows that the buyer has more interest in the property and is perhaps a more solid buyer. They are less likely to fall out of escrow.

FHA is the hardest due to the fact that FHA buyers have to go through a rigorous, and I mean rigorous, process to get qualified. Sometimes a buyer is not always honest about their financial situation when qualifying for a loan. So when they receive their prequalification it may be on false terms, the loan will not be approved and the buyer will lose that property. Unfortunately this costs everyone time and money, including the buyer.

So if you are going out for a loan always be completely honest to the loan officer because they will find out everything about your financial situation.

Conventional is stronger and remember, CASH WINS. To search for your dream home in the Phoenix Arizona area go to  Http://RalphamdTricia.com/Searchmls.htm
