FHA Loan Product

FHA Loans are a great way to save money on your home purchase or refinance.  Because these loans are insured through the federal government, FHA mortgages are easier to qualify for than conventional home loans.

The biggest benefit of an FHA loan is the ability to put a smaller amount of money down.  Buyers using this financing can put as little as 3.5% down towards their home purchase.  These loans also carry a 2.25% FHA funding fee that is rolled into the loan.  FHA borrowers also get to receive reduced monthly mortgage insurance compared to the monthly premiums on conventional loans that are over 80% loan to value.

Flat Branch Home Loans is a Full Eagle FHA lender servicing the entire state of Missouri.  Our status with HUD allows Flat Branch to underwrite FHA mortgages on behalf of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.  This means that your FHA loan will all be processed and underwritten in Missouri by the friendly Flat Branch Home Loan staff.  Flat Branch makes FHA mortgages easy while saving you money.

"Thank you so much for making all of this seem so easy and simple for me. I know you and your company put a lot of work into making me a first time homeowner. I truly appreciate your sincerity! Thank you so much for helping me in understanding the process of buying my home. There aren't enough words to explain the trust I feel in you. Thank you for everything!"

Scott, Boy, this sure was a pleasant experience. From contract through closing, Scott mediated the process in only 3 weeks. My interest rate was much better than both of my banks could offer. He answered all of my questions and gave my advice like a big brother would. I highly recommend Scott Batt at the Flat Branch Mortgage for all VA loan matters.

"Shawn & Eric were wonderful to work with. They both went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly. Everything they quoted to us was very accurate. We would definitely recommend either of them to our friends and family."
Ed & Janet Hull
"Shawn Von Talge was great when we got our home loan. We knew what was expected at closing and what had to be paid at closing. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner."
Greg & Jill Greening
"As a First Time Homebuyer I really did not know what to expect in the entire loan process. I was well informed and guided through every step of the way. Eric helped me with documentation and saved me a tremendous amount of time. I really appreciate the service I received from Flat Branch. Thanks!"

Dear Scott, Thank you so much for your help throughout this entire process. CJ and I both were very impressed with your desire to help us understand everything each step of the way. We can't thank you enough for your guidance and professionalism. We knew we were in good hands working with you. I will definitely recommend you to others. Also, if you need a reference for a potential client please feel free to send them my way. We are going to be hosting an open house party sometime later this month so be looking for that invitation!

"Shawn did an absolutely great job helping us refinance our house. We were especially impressed by how easy it was to contact Shawn, even contacting us out of state. We were also impressed with the guidance he gave us throughout the process, letting us know what to expect in advance and how to interact with the various parties involved. Finally we want to mention that he got us almost all of the cash we needed to fold the costs of some recent home improvements into the mortgage, while other banks we had tried to work with turned us down despite our excellent credit rating and job status."

For years, I had been dreaming about buying my first home, but I was afraid I would never be able to afford it. I live in a small rural town where it’s hard to make a lot of money. When I heard about the first-time home buyer tax credit, I decided that now was the time to try. After looking at a long list of homes, I fell in love with a house at the high end of my price range. My realtor recommended Flat Branch Mortgage and they helped me every step of the way. With their rural loan program, I was able to purchase the home with a small deposit of $500, $0 private mortgage insurance, and only $200 for closing costs! The monthly payment for mortgage, insurance and property tax turned out to be only $200 more per month than what we were paying to rent a small apartment. Flat Branch was so fast and thorough with the home buying process that we were even able to close a week early. Thank you, Flat Branch, for helping me to achieve my dream of purchasing a home in 2010. Very excellent, wonderful customer service. I couldn't be more pleased with Flat Brach Loans. Thank you so much, Shawn, Daisy, and Flat Branch. I was afraid that purchasing a home would be a daunting task but you really helped us through this process and made it as painless as possible, and in fact, enjoyable!

"Being first time homebuyers, Shawn Von Talge made sure we understood the whole loan process. He coached us each step of the way to make sure we got the things done we needed in order to make everything run smoothly. He was very prompt in getting back to us with any questions we had and made sure to stay in touch when anything new developed with our home purchase. Shawn and his company were absolutely wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone. We will definitely be contacting him on our next home purchase!"

Jessica did a wonderful job helping me to understand every aspect of the loan process and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I appreciated very much the fact that she shared in my excitements and frustrations, and though I’m sure she was working with 30 other people, it always felt as though she was 100% present with me and my process. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family when they need loans.
