Dominion Residential Mortgage - DRM offers a full range of loan programs to help make your homeownership dream a reality.

FHA Home Loans

Homeowners should clearly understand what the FHA loan is all about before you decide you should obtain one.  FHA which is also known as Federal Housing Administration, does not make loans or guarantees them like Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, instead it insures the loans.   All FHA mortgage loans require mortgage insurance.   Lenders pay FHA with the insurance that is collected, which reimburses in the event of a loan default.  The FHA mortgage loan program’s goal is to improve housing standards and conditions.

Two Types of FHA Mortgage Insurance

Mutual Mortgage Insurance - The remaining balance of the loan will be paid by the insurance. In return, over the life of the loan the payment will decrease gradually. The amount will be collected monthly on approved condominiums.

Mortgage Insurance Premium - This insurance has a one time fee of 2.25% of the loan amount. This applies to single family residences and planned unit developments. This fee can be added to the base loan and 100% financed.
