04
Community lending mortgages make real sense in Milpitas for buyers at or near the county's $159,674 median household income. The 80 percent loan-to-value cap requires solid down-payment savings.
For buyers above the income threshold or without 20 percent down, conventional financing or FHA may pencil better. The program rewards discipline with reduced insurance over the life of the loan.
05
Community lending mortgages and FHA loans both serve buyers who might not fit conventional underwriting. Community lending runs income-based qualification and requires 20 percent down.
FHA allows a smaller down payment, with lifetime mortgage insurance possible below 10 percent down. Community lending's reduced insurance makes sense if you have the down payment and income near the county median.
