Super nervous dealing with mortgage brokers. HELP
So im not sure if this sounds stupid, but i found the property that id like to buy, got it under contract, now its time to get the mortgage. I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING. Iv contacted 2 different brokers, one is telling me GO FHA!
Selling price: $372,000
5% down with concessions
3.75% - payment is $1819.00 (with MI)
Another broker is telling me i can do 5% conventional?
I only have the 10% down ($37,000) i could borrow the extra money for closing costs from a family member.
What do i do?? borrow the money and get a 10% down conventional loan?
do 10% down and just take the concession? (higher rate)
or do 5% FHA and get creamed by all the fees?
