IdaMortgage Loan Options:
Conventional Loan - This is a traditional home loan, and home buyers can choose to make a minimum down-payment of 5% or more, or opt for IHFA's 100% down payment financing loan product.
FHA Loan - Unlike some inflexible mortgage programs, the FHA mortgage is more attainable for people with little or no credit. This is a key factor in why people choose an FHA loan. This home loan was created by the federal government and provides affordable home financing for qualified borrowers.
VA Loan - This home loan enables eligible military veterans to buy a home with no down payment. The term "Veteran" includes certain members of the selected Reserve, active duty service personnel and certain categories of spouses.
RD Loan - This home loan is for homebuyers who would like to buy a home with no down payment, in a rural community.
Definitions:
Discount Points - *Each discount point represents one percent of the loan amount. Either the buyer or seller can pay a discount point to permanently "Buy down" the interest rate. This amount is separate from any down payment required on the loan.
Stepped Interest Rate Mortgages - ** In stepped interest rate mortgages the lower mortgage rate is applicable for the first three years and the higher rate applies from year four until the loan is repaid.
Property Types:
Single-family dwelling (townhouses or condos included).
Manufactured housing (doublewide and on foundation).

No IRS Recapture
For borrowers whose loan closed on or after May 19, 2004, and haven't refinanced
out of our program, IdaMortgage will fully reimburse you for any recapture tax the IRS
imposes, provided no new wage earner is included in the home for one year after
the time the loan was made.
