• Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP)
  One-time FHA mortgage-insurance charge usually assessed at closing and often financed into the starting loan balance.
• USDA Loan
  Government-backed rural mortgage designed for eligible low-to-moderate-income borrowers, often allowing no-down-payment home financing in qualifying areas.
• VA Loan
  Government-guaranteed mortgage for eligible veterans, service members, and some surviving spouses, often allowing low-down-payment or no-down-payment home financing.
• VA Loan Guaranty
  Federal guaranty behind VA home loans that reduces lender risk and enables favorable mortgage terms for eligible borrowers.
