The main home loan types at a glance

Most home loans fall into two families. Conventional loans are privately funded and typically sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Government-backed loans include FHA loans, insured by the Federal Housing Administration; VA loans, backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs; and USDA loans, offered through USDA Rural Development for eligible rural locations.

Beyond those families sit specialty loans. Jumbo loans cover amounts above the yearly conforming limit. Construction loans fund a new build in stages. Renovation loans roll repair or remodel costs into the mortgage. Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate versions exist for many of these, along with a range of term options.

Which loan fits your situation

Buying your first home? Conventional and FHA loans are common starting points, and state housing finance agency programs may offer lower upfront cash requirements. Served in the military? Check VA eligibility with a Certificate of Eligibility. Looking outside town? Ask whether the address is in a USDA-eligible area.

Buying a high-priced home? A jumbo loan may be needed if the amount exceeds the conforming limit. Planning to build? Look at construction-to-permanent financing. Buying a fixer-upper? Renovation loans such as FHA 203(k) can combine the purchase and repairs in one loan.

Local offices and Virginia rules to know

Virginia's state housing finance agency is Virginia Housing. Its homebuyer programs include Conventional first mortgage (bond and non-bond), FHA first mortgage (bond and non-bond), VA first mortgage (bond and non-bond). These programs work through participating lenders and have their own eligibility rules. See our Virginia first-time buyer programs guide.

Narrowing your options in Massanetta Springs

Once you have two or three candidate loan types, compare them on the same footing. Ask a lender for a Loan Estimate on each option for the same property price. Look at how mortgage insurance or guaranty fees apply, how much cash you would need at closing, and how flexible the property standards are.

Also think about how long you plan to stay. A loan that fits a short stay may not be ideal for a long one. A licensed loan officer can explain the trade-offs, and every loan remains subject to credit approval.

Before you call

  • Your rough price range and the areas where you are shopping
  • How long you expect to stay in the home
  • How much cash you have set aside for upfront costs
  • A sense of your credit history, including any recent credit events
  • Any plans to build, renovate or repair after purchase

Questions Massanetta Springs borrowers ask about home loans

What is a jumbo loan?

A jumbo loan is a mortgage for an amount above the conforming loan limit set each year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Because these loans cannot be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac under standard guidelines, lenders often apply stricter documentation, reserve and appraisal standards. Conforming limits vary by county, so check the limit for your area.

How do I know which home loan is right for me?

Start with the factors that open specific programs: military service for VA, a rural address for USDA, and a high purchase price for jumbo. Then consider your credit history, upfront cash and whether you plan to build or renovate. A licensed loan officer can review your situation and compare the loan types you may qualify for side by side.

What kind of loan do I need to build a house?

Construction loans fund a new build in stages as work is completed. A construction-to-permanent loan covers both the building phase and the long-term mortgage with one closing, while a construction-only loan must be replaced with a separate mortgage when the home is finished. Lenders usually review your builder, plans and budget before approval.

Does the property type affect which loan I can get?

It can. Condos may need to meet project approval rules for certain programs, manufactured homes have specific requirements, and multi-unit properties are treated differently from single-family homes. USDA loans require an eligible rural location. Share the property address or listing with your lender early so any property issues come up before you are under contract.
