Lafayette Home Mortgage

Fannie Mae mortgage loans are conventional loans made at the risk of the lender without benefit of any government guarantee or government insurance. A conventional loan with an LTV (loan to value ratio) of greater than 80% requires primary mortgage insurance, which can be paid monthly. The borrower must have 5% of his/her own funds for the down payment and 2 months reserves on deposit. Closing costs must be paid by the borrower.
