What is a FHA Loan

The FHA is here to support you on your journey toward homeownership. And it’s accessible to everyone, not just first-time home buyers. As long as you’re purchasing a primary residence, it doesn’t matter whether it’s your first or fifth time buying a home.

With an FHA loan, you can roll the insurance premium into your loan amount, making it easier on your bank balance. Plus, you’ll only need to pay a small percentage of the loan amount yearly, and that’s conveniently included in your monthly mortgage payment.

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA strives to improve housing standards and provide an adequate home financing system by insuring mortgages. FHA loans generally allow homebuyers the ability to purchase homes with smaller down payments and more lenient qualifications than conventional loans. FHA loans are open to all qualified borrowers; they are a great option for borrowers with less than perfect credit.

  • 580 minimum credit score
  • Interest rates lower than conventional lending
  • Less restrictive guidelines so qualifying is easier
  • 2-4 Unit properties only require 3.5% down

What is a USDA (Rural Development) Loan?

If you’re looking to live in a rural area and that includes most of Montana-US Department of Agriculture (USDA), loans could be an ideal choice for you. USDA guarantees these loans, which means lenders can offer very competitive terms. We specialize in helping people like you take full advantage of these benefits.

This wonderful initiative aims to support low-to-moderate-income families who dream of owning their own homes in a tranquil rural area. With a USDA loan, occupying the property as your primary residence is important; you can only have one loan at a time.

There are no limits on how much money you can borrow, but there are maximum income and net worth limits per household.

  • No down payment required
  • Lower interest rates than conventional loans
  • Insurance rates lower than FHA and most Conventional loans
  • Lower funding fees

A Rural Development loan is a great option offered to rural property owners guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Those who qualify are able to get special financing options for sanitary housing for low to moderate-income households. You must meet financial, property, location guidelines. Not sure if the home you want to buy is located in a rural area? Ask Us!

Great Service. Great experience. Would gladly recommend and use Capital Family again.

See What Our Happy Homebuyers Say

  • My husband & I met with Teresa last year to find out what we needed to do to get ready to buy a home. We did what Teresa recommended and now we are in a position to purchase the home we rent. I emailed Teresa and left her a subsequent message with absolutely no response. We used Capital Family Mortgage in the past and wanted to give you our business. I see all positive comments on Google. Unfortunately we did not experience the same customer service. We will find another company.

  • I cannot emphasize enough how easy, stressfree and enjoyable working with Renee from Capital Family Mortgage has been.

    Renee was the first person I spoke to about the possibility of buying my first home in my early 20s before I knew if it would even be possible. She showed me the types of loans availible to me, the price range that would fit my budget, got me pre-approved and even helped me find a great real estate agent. Within a few months I was closing on my first place with financing that fit my needs and I did not have to do any of the leg work or stess about the process at all!

    A few years later she assisted me through the home buying process a second time and most recently she assisted me through the refinancing process to get an even better rate!

    Working with Renee and Capital Family Mortgage allowed me to dive into home ownership. Renee is an amazing communicator and extremely proactive ally. I reccomend Renee to anyone I know regardless of if they are ready to buy a home now of if they are just intersted in what may be availible to them. Happy to provide more information on my experience to anyone interested.

  • Brad Hoshor did a bang up job for me on my refi. Unique in my experience with lenders was his ability to swiftly compare options and scenarios in order to arrive at the optimal configuration for the mortgage based on my personal situation. Dealing with real estate finance in general is a real drag but Brad made it a smooth, happy experience.

  • We've financed several homes and have never had better service than from Capital Family. Sam answered all our questions (we had lots!) and explained the process. There's a million factors and we were impressed by how smoothly Capital Family closed our loan. With our most recent loan, we experienced several glitches (we submitted our taxes incorrectly last year!) but Sam caught the mistake and resolved the issue without missing a beat. We even got a great rate!

  • Teresa Manlove was fantastic! The complete home buying process was very easy. She was forward and upfront with what our budget was and gave us options to compare. She was very easy to get ahold of and responded to emails quickly. She was prompt to start the paperwork when we found a home and scheduled the appraisal right away. We closed within 30 days with time to spare. The staff at Capital Family Mortgage greeting us every time we walk in the office and all were pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend Teresa and Capital Family Mortgage to anyone purchasing a home.
