And when this collapses, the banks will demand another bailout.
Wells Fargo launches 3% down payment mortgage
may 23 2016 Branded "yourFirstMortgage," Wells Fargo's new product has a minimum down payment of 3 percent for a fixed-rate conventional mortgage of up to $417,000. Down payment help can come from gifts and community-assistance programs. Customers are not required to complete a homebuyer education course, but if they do, they may earn a 1/8 percent interest rate reduction. The minimum FICO score for these loans, which are underwritten according to Fannie Mae standards, is 620. Mortgage insurance can either be rolled in to the cost of the loan or purchased separately by the borrower.
Blackwell said either way, the monthly payment is less than a government-insured FHA loan. More importantly, it's simpler than other 3 percent down payment products already in the market, some of which have specific income and counseling requirements.
