How and Where To Get Big Real Estate Loans Today

SOME OF THE BIGGEST REAL ESTATE LOANS you can get today come from the FHA--Federal Housing Administration. These loans are often in the range of $500,000 to multi-millions. Why are they available to you? For several reasons:

1. The Government wants to encourage certain types of building construction or repair.

2. Such as multi-family housing, nursing homes, and retirement homes that benefit large groups of people

3. To do this, big loans are made available to developers, prospective building owners, and other real estate people

4. Helping society get the types of buildings needed for healthy living the Government seeks for every citizen

THERE ARE SEVERAL AGENCIES offering loans today through FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. These loans are for:

* New construction to buildings listed above

* Purchase of existing buildings of the types listed

* Refinancing of existing multi-family housing (apartment houses), existing nursing homes, and retirement homes

THESE LOANS ARE REALLY GREAT because they have so many advantages for you--the borrower. These advantages include:

* Non-recouse--this means the lender does not have any right to sieze your other assets if the loan goes bad

* Long-term--30to 40 years for repayment of your loan; this means that your monthly payments are lower

* Fixed interest rate--meaning that your monthly payments for principal and interest (called P & I) are constant--they do not increase no matter what happens to interset rates

* Low equity needed--meaning that your down payments much lower than with other types of financing--such as from bank or mortgage company loans

WHERE CAN YOU GET ONE OF THESE LOANS? You can get your loan through any one of the agencies listed above that handles the type of loan you seek. Here are the loans, their agency, and their phone number:
