·         Minimum $1000 from the borrower into the transaction
·         Maximum 3% seller concessions (SELLER PAID CLOSING COSTS)
·         You will receive $10,000 in down-payment assistance in the form of a “soft” second mortgage at 0% with no payments required.  Goes to cover down payment and any closing costs or pre-paid items.
·         No co-signers permitted (no non-owner occupied co-signers to help qualify)

Benefits
·         95% financing with $10,000 down payment assistance
·         No property eligibility requirements
·         Significantly reduced mortgage insurance compared to FHA- Example- FHA on a $100,000 purchase price would run $110.00/month, on this program with a 660 FICO score it would be $58/month and there is no Up- front Mortgage Insurance Premium as well.
·         No Doc stamps on the mortgage or intangible taxes required since it is a Bond program saving the buyer money off closing costs, and leaving more for the down payment.

Hurry and get your class done so you will be ready to buy.
