Our online resources can help simplify your path to homebuying. We’re here to help you on your journey.
1. Down Payment Requirements: A minimum 3% down payment applies only if the property has one unit and all borrowers live in the property. A minimum 5% down payment is required if the loan has a borrower who does not live in the property. A minimum 15% down payment is required for all two-unit properties. Repayment Terms Example: A loan with a 3% down payment, $400,000 loan amount, and an APR of 8.00% (rate is a sample only) will have a monthly principal and interest payment of $2,897 for 360 months. This monthly payment does not include homeowner’s insurance or property taxes. Actual payment obligations will be greater.
2. If receiving a grant, you may not receive cash back at closing. Lender grant is available only on closed transactions when all conditions have been met. Borrowers may receive only one grant under the Program every 36 months. This grant is non-transferrable, cannot be applied retroactively, and may not be redeemed for cash. Additional terms and conditions apply. This is not a loan approval or a commitment to lend. Depending on your tax situation, the grant may be taxable income to you.
