Hi all.
My son is a soon-to-be first time home buyer.
I'm going to recommend to him either a 30-year (or maybe 20-year or 15-year, but probably 30) fixed rate conventional mortgage from a competent lender.
He'll have 20% down, and will be looking at starter homes or condos/townhomes. Owner occupied.
He'll think he'll be staying in the home for 5-10 years, so some points to buy down the rate may be reasonable.
I've done some research already and see the following companies as good options (listed in roughly descending order):
NFCU
LenderFI
BlueSky
Better
PenFed
(Lower, Aimloan, ICCU, and US Bank are all also on the list but don't appear competitive with the above.)
He doesn't need handholding, doesn't need marketing, just someone to competently close on time, with a competitive APR, and receive and apply payments.
Any others that people might suggest?
