What Does the Course Cover?
Government Guaranteed Loans 101 is designed to familiarize real estate professionals with the government-guaranteed mortgage programs available to home buyers. It will cover information about the following types of home loans:
FHA – Home loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which are popular among home buyers due to their lower down payment requirements and flexible lending standards.
USDA – Home loans backed by the US Department of Agriculture, designed to help buyers purchase homes in designated rural areas throughout the United States.
VA – Home loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, intended to help veterans, military members, and their surviving spouses purchase homes.
We will discuss the details and benefits of each program, and go over who is best suited for each type of government mortgage program.
Additionally we will cover:
Benefits of government loans (FHA/USDA/VA)
Social benefits
Financial benefits
Differences between the programs
Acceptable ratios

Following the course, participants will be able to identify which of these mortgage products will be able to assist their clients with their home purchases, understand the differences between the programs, and be able to articulate the benefits of the specific programs to their clients.
