Wisconsin Conventional Mortgage Lenders – Virtually all lenders offer conventional loan products. When in search for an Wisconsin conventional loan, make certain you are receiving the best possible rate with the best possible terms and the lowest closing costs associated with your particular loan. Wisconsin conventional loan requirements differ greatly from an Wisconsin FHA loan in regards to maximum loan amounts, minimum down payments, loan-to-value ratios and credit criteria so make sure you have educated yourself on your loan options before speaking with a Wisconsin lender.
Wisconsin FHA Mortgage Lenders – Not all Wisconsin mortgage companies are approved to offer FHA loan products. Wisconsin lenders are required to adhere to certain guidelines set forth by the FHA so when you are in search of an FHA loan, make certain that the Wisconsin lender you are working with is approved by the Federal Housing Administration. Wisconsin FHA maximum loan limits are set by HUD and differ for each county in each state (use the table below to find Wisconsin’s maximum loan amount). Down payment, loan-to-value and credit criteria are much more relaxed than conventional loans so ensure your Wisconsin lender is getting you the best possible rate for your particular financial situation.
