Team Hochberg is Offering FHA and VA Mortgage Services in Northbrook, IL

Mar 7, 2023

Northbrook, Illinois -

March 07, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - David Hochberg at Homeside Financial is helping residents in Northbrook and nearby areas find ways to afford a new home or leverage the equity they already have in their property.

Aspiring homeowners often get discouraged to pursue their dream of homeownership due to the long-standing assumption that they need 20% of the home’s value as a down payment. However, while the 20% estimate undoubtedly applies to some premium properties, the average downpayment that first-time buyers pay is much lower, around 6% according to the National Association of Realtors.

“There are many ways in which you can make owning a home easier for yourself,” David Hochberg says, “If you qualify for certain government assistance programs, homeownership ceases to be a pipe dream and becomes a reality. That day you have been waiting for, when you finally move into a home that you can call your own, might not be as far away as you think.”

For starters, the Federal Housing Administration helps out individuals and families who have poor credit and are struggling to raise the money for a down payment. With an FHA mortgage, those with credit scores between 500 and 579 can qualify for up to 90% of the home’s value and those with a credit score higher than 580 can qualify for 96.5%. Banks will still consider the applicant’s credit score, their debt history, whether they have steady employment, current income, and other factors. However, since the mortgage is backed by the government, it opens up a lot more opportunities for those who would not have qualified for a conventional mortgage.

Some American households can qualify for VA mortgages if the applicant is a veteran or active service personnel, or is a surviving spouse of such an individual. VA mortgages offer a host of benefits such as no down payments, no requirement of signing up for mortgage insurance, and no penalties if the applicant decides to pay off the mortgage early. Those who qualify are also assisted by the VA to avoid defaulting on their mortgage.

David Hochberg talks about the many options available to those looking for a first home or refinancing their existing property by saying, “Applying for a VA or FHA mortgage is a great way to fight the odds and succeed in the real estate market. Regardless of whether you are a first-time home buyer, need funds to sustain yourself post-retirement, need the money to pay off other debts, or want to undertake significant home improvement tasks, these government programs may be just what you need to get started. Call up Team Hochberg today so that I can look over your case and guide you to the program that you can qualify for. You can also check out this news article to find out more about my VA mortgage services.”

Team Hochberg has been originating mortgages since 2000 and has, to date, made available over $15 billion for its clients in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The mortgage services provider, a part of Homeside Financial, has a dedicated in-house support staff, underwriters, and closing department that can process applications in as little as a few days.

Several Illinois residents have expressed their approval of Team Hochberg’s services on its Google Business Profile where it has an impressive 4.8 out of 5.0 rating from over 400 reviews. One reviewer writes, “David willingly goes above and beyond to help you and answer your questions. I would definitely recommend David and his team for all your needs.”

Another homeowner shares their journey of getting approved with Team Hochberg by saying, “I highly recommend Team Hochberg. Brian was very knowledgeable and explained the process step by step. The portal was a great resource to see how the process was moving along. I was fully funded on my mortgage in 11 days! It was a pleasure doing business with Brian!”

Eala eyes strong finish in 2026 season at Hong Kong Open

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine tennis trailblazer Alex Eala seeks a strong finish to her 2026 season at the WTA 250 Hong Kong Open in China. Following a breakthrough quarterfinal finish at the 500 Tokyo Open in Japan, Eala flies to Hong Kong for its tournament which will run from November 2 to 8. World No. 19 Eala fell to No. 13 Diana Shnaider in a hard-fought Tokyo Open quarterfinal, 6-2, 6(5)-7, 4-6, on Friday. Eala has been having a historic season with a fourth-round finish at Wimbledon last July, a maiden WTA title at D.C Open last August and a career-high rank No. 18 first achieved in the same month. The 21-year-old has been not as sharp this Asian Swing, though, with a 3-win and 4-loss record. Those losses including upsets at the hands of world No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova at Singapore Open and No. 217 Shi Han at Wuhan. Eala regained some of her mojo in Tokyo with a breakthrough quarterfinal appearance in all of her Asian Swing campaign. Battling Shnaider for nearly three hours, Eala lost steam and fell to the Russian anew after yielding to the latter in Ningbo second round last week. At the 250-tier Hong Kong Open, Eala is seeded No. 3 and one of the favorites to win it all after No. 1 seed Shnaider and No. 2 seed and world No. 16 Sorana Cirstea. Completing the top 8 seeds are world No. 23 Leylah Fernandez, No. 30 Maria Sakkari, No. 35 Jasmine Paolini, No. 38 Talia Gibson, and No. 39 Wang Xinyu. Last year, Eala reached the second round of the Hong Kong Open. She walked over at 6-4, 2-1 against Katie Boulter who retired due to an injury in their first-round clash before succumbing to Victoria Mboko in the second, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.

Reigning champs chase history in New York Marathon

NEW YORK, United States — Defending champions Benson Kipruto and Hellen Obiri of Kenya will chase history and back-to-back titles in Sunday's New York Marathon. About 60,000 runners from 140 nations are expected to compete over 26.2 miles (42.16km) through the five boroughs of New York. Kipruto won the closest New York men's marathon in history last year, edging compatriot Alex Mutiso by three-hundredths of a second after both crossed the finish line in 2:08:09. The 36-year-old Kenyan will try to become the first back-to-back New York men's winner since Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya in 2013. Kipruto also won the 2021 Boston Marathon, 2022 Chicago Marathon and 2024 Tokyo Marathon titles and took third at the 2024 Paris Olympic marathon and this year's Boston Marathon. Ethiopia's Deresa Geleta, sixth in this year's London Marathon, makes his North America marathon debut on the streets of New York. There is also excitement about the marathon debut of 31-year-old Swede Andreas Almgren, who set a European half-marathon record of 58:06 last month at Copenhagen. "I haven't felt nervous yet. Right now it's just excitement," Almgren said. "I don't know that I've ever been so excited for a race." The data analyst also posted on social media: "I"m not saying good bye to track racing. I'm just saying hello to marathons." Obiri, 36, is well-acquainted with the distance. She won the Boston Marathon in 2023 and 2024 and New York Marathon in 2023 and 2025 as well as taking a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics marathon. Obiri took her second New York City Half-Marathon title earlier this year, winning in a course-record 1:06:33. She was this year's London Marathon runner-up, finishing 12 seconds off the women-only marathon world record of 2:15:41 set by Ethiopian Tigst Assefa. Obiri will try to become only the fourth woman to win a third career New York title after Norway's Grete Waitz, Kenya's Mary Keitany and Britain's Paula Radcliffe. Obiri seeks her third crown in four years after setting a course record of 2:19:51 last year. She would be the first New York repeat women's winner since Keitany won from 2014-16. Clear conditions and perfect running temperatures are expected for the 50th edition of the race since it switched to a course that includes each of the city's five boroughs, heralding the modern edition of the event.
