Banks Compete for FHA Borrowers
LendingTree customers can now submit a loan request when looking for an FHA-insured loan and banks compete for their business.
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 -- Customers of LendingTree can now submit a loan request when looking for an FHA-insured loan and have banks compete for their business. To launch the offering, LendingTree is also showcasing a one-of-a-kind FHA tool that helps borrowers determine whether or not they may be FHA eligible prior to looking for loans.
The no obligation FHA tool found here: FHA loan eligibility by taking into account FHA qualifying criteria including county loan limits, as well as loan-to-value ratios. Then, once a customer is ready to move forward and start shopping their loan, they can complete a LendingTree loan request and have lenders compete for their business.
"We've discovered that most borrowers are unaware of FHA-insured loans and what it takes to actually qualify for one," says Nicole Hall, editor in chief of the LendingTree Smart Borrower Center. "In light of news regarding the surging popularity of FHA loans, we've set out to make the eligibility process for an FHA-insured loan a lot easier to do. The FHA loan tool, together with our marketplace model of competing banks, provides borrowers a great package of tools and competitive offers that will help them shop for a loan in today's market."
FHA loans can be used to buy a home or refinance an existing mortgage. Traditionally, FHA-insured loans have been seen as an alternative for lower-income borrowers, borrowers with low down payments or those with shaky credit histories. But now even well-to-do borrowers in affluent housing markets are looking into the availability of FHA loans.
LendingTree provides customers the option to shop their lending needs from more than 200 competing lenders from across the country. Both big and small, LendingTree marketplace lenders compete for borrowers business by providing real offers to customers for home loans such as new purchase mortgage, refinance and home equity, as well as personal and auto loans. The FHA eligibility tool joins other easy-to-use mortgage calculator tools in the LendingTree Smart Borrower Center.
