New FHA Down Payment Program

The down payment program is a great program if you need funds for down payment for that new home. If you qualify for the program, you will be eligible to receive funds to cover a portion of your required down payment amount. The maximum amount of funds you can receive under the program is 2% of the purchase price of the home being purchased; you will still be required to pay any remaining amount of the required down payment yourself or with a gift from a family member.

• One program used for all types of borrowers, with the same qualifications
• Completely forgivable grant, equals 2% of purchase price
• May be combined with up to 6% seller concession for closing costs
• No resale or borrower repayment restrictions
• No underwriting fee

For example, if you are purchasing a home with a purchase price of $150,000, the maximum amount of down payment assistance you can receive under the program is 2% of $150,000, or $3,000. If the required down payment amount is $5,250 (3.5% of $150,000), you would still be required to fund $2,250 yourself, or from a gift from a family member.

$100 Down

FHA & HUD $100 Down Mortgage 

Many buyers are not aware that FHA & HUD have a special $100 down mortgage program, mainly because this is a specialty program. In fact very few lenders and banks specialize in and offer the HUD 100 down program. $100 down home loans are here in Texas. In most cases the FHA loan program requires 3.5% down payment, not the HUD $100 down program. This loan is perfect for new first time buyers entering the housing market with little to no money for large down payments. The HUD $100 down program is available. The HUD $100 Down program makes government owned foreclosures available for purchase with just a $100 down payment. And, these homes are available with an insured FHA loan for owner-occupants. In addition, monthly payments can be very low thanks to secure low 30 year fix mortgage rates. First time buyers often find it cheaper to own their own home than to rent.

The property must be a HUD owned home. Basically a HUD home is a home that was foreclosed on and had a FHA-insured mortgage. HUD pays off the losses of the lender and takes the home back to sell and recoup their losses. It is then offered for sale at market value, based on a recent AS-IS appraisal, meaning, and the market value in its current condition. If you find a HUD home you like, a HUD registered realtor is needed to help set up a showing and to make a bid. Also, the buyer will still need to pay earnest money(deposit) for the home as well.

The benefits of the HUD $100 down home loan.

• Only $100 down payment is required to purchase one of these homes (some closing cost may still apply.)
• Offers the Lowest Down Payment requirement (very close to 100% financing.)
• Generally easier to qualify for than conventional loans.
• Generally offers lower interest rates than conventional loans.
• Total loan amount cannot exceed FHA maximum county loan limits.

Wright Mortgage works with numerous FHA lenders that offer these $100 Down HUD REO Loans. If you are interested in being pre-qualified to purchase a HUD REO Property using the HUD REO Loan just give us a call or fill out a mortgage application on our website.
