Conventional loans are mortgage loans offered by non-government sponsored lenders. A conventional, or conforming, mortgage adheres to the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Down payment requirements may be as little as 3% or as much as the borrower would like to put down. Loans with less than 20% down can have the option to have Mortgage Insurance Monthly, or Lender paid mortgage insurance.
FHA is an option that is offered to consumers that may have not-so perfect credit, or perhaps are looking to put a minimal down payment on a home. They offer a low down payment of 3.5%, and credit scores can be much lower than on other products. Seller can pay up to 6% in closing cost for buyer. This loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Veterans Administration (VA) loans were created to help veterans finance the purchase of their new homes, or the refinance of their current home. They are offered to Active Military personnel and those that have served in the past. They offer 100% financing with NO down Payment on most loan products and do not require mortgage insurance.

Polite, knowledgeable, great rates, and quick with responses. If we hadn't gotten a better rate with our credit union, we would have gone with this company.

Our refinance with Fountain City Finance was extremely easy and smooth. Daryl, Heather and Danielle were always available and answered all questions. It was nice to support a local company as opposed to national company where your just a number, and they gave us a better rate! We only have one regret...and that is not calling FCF sooner!

Let me just say WOW! We had such a great experience with FCF!!!
The entire team made this process extremely easy and super fast! They were all very pleasant on top of that! I was amazed at how easy this entire process was. We had wanted to refinance for so long! We were worried about the process and length of time it may take so we always chose not to but I am so glad we made the choice to do this with FCF! We got an amazing rate and got rid of all our debt at the same time! Now all we have is a house payment! Thanks FCF! You all are the best!

Loan process was surprisingly easy. Had an overall good experience. The only thing that frustrated me about the process is they kept losing my documents. Documents I had to pay money to obtain. But overall everything went pretty smooth. Would defiantly use them again.

Very pleased with my refinance from a standard bank loan into a new VA loan. My property was attached to another rental property I had for DTI reasons. I felt my situation was complicated and they handled each hurdle with ease. I highly recommend Fountain City Finance.

My wife and I just recently refinanced our home and it was the smoothest experience I believe possible, especially after all we dealt with with our first loan process with a different company. Daryl, Heather, and Danielle kept us informed the entire time, explained every step to us and always made us feel like a priority. The laid out our options and gave us plenty of time to make decisions without feeling rushed or pressured. The excitement just keeps flowing when a company helps you save $100,000+ throughout the life of your loan. Definitely recommend FCF and the crew, they definitely made a

I would love to give them 5 stars and in the beginning they were world class. But after our loan was sold... twice and there were miscommunications from the beginning, they stopped returning my calls. I spoke to Daryl in the beginning and it was easy to submit our app with him and at first we were thrilled. But then, we NEVER heard from him again... only his assistants. Then when there was an issue with our mortgage insurance, which the issue originated with the lack of communication from Fountain City Mortgage, they never returned my calls. It feels like once they did their part they washed their

I have been talking with them since November & they have been amazing! Melissa has been the one that has been helping me and she’s always so nice and available when I have questions, even when I email, instead of call. I highly suggest them! This process has been so easy!

I have bought 4 houses in my life and I have to say the financing was the easiest with Fountain City Finance. I called and talked to Darly who got me pre-approved in about 2 hours. I found the house I wanted… and made an offer. From the Time I got my pre-approval to moving in was only about 4 weeks. I worked with Heather at Fountain city finance and she kept me informed the entire time and was always their to answer questions and to tell me the status. I can not say enough nice things about all the people at Fountain city Finance.If you are looking to buy a house in or around Knoxville you
