For some borrowers, saving up 3% for a down payment is still a hurdle they can’t quite clear due to the rising rent (44.6% up from 2005, according to the San Diego County Apartment Association reports. CBRE projects rents to increase by more than 3 percent in each of the next three years, until slowing to 2.4 percent annually in 2020.)
However, we have teamed up with a Bank that has a new program… 100% Financing Home Loan in San Diego (Zero-percent down mortgage).
This program is to help low- and moderate-income borrowers become homeowners by helping to overcome one of the “most significant barriers” to home ownership, the down payment.
It allows qualifying borrowers to finance up to 100 percent of a home’s value, with the bank contributing up to $4,500 toward certain closing costs.
Under this 100% Financing Home Loan program there are no private mortgage insurance, or PMI, requirements with a home mortgage, which can easily add $150 or more each month to the typical home loan payment.
To qualify for the program, certain eligibility requirements must be met. Those eligibility requirements include, but are not limited to (1) the property must either be located in a low-to-moderate income census tract (https://www.ffiec.gov/geocode/), or (2) the applicants on the loan cannot have an income greater than 80% of the HUD median income for the area. A lender credit not to exceed $4,500 will be applied at the time of closing, after final underwriting and product eligibility has been confirmed. (3) Minimum credit score of 620.
Other benefits of the program:
- Borrowers can move into a new residence with as little as $500 of their own funds. Seller funds and cash gifts can be used to pay remaining closing costs and so-called “prepaids” — expenses such as taxes and insurance that must be paid at closing before they are technically due.
- The program offers flexible fixed-rate mortgage terms, with 30-, 25-, 20-, 15- and 10-year options available.
- No income limits apply when the property is located in a Low or Moderate income census tract.
In some cases, borrowers participating in the program will pay a monthly mortgage payment that is as much as or less than what they currently pay as renters. And that’s an important point: This program will be helping people who’ve already proven their ability to make that monthly payment.
