HomeReady and Home Possible Mortgages
Low Down Payments, Flexible Underwriting
HomeReady® and Home Possible® are mortgage programs designed to help low- to moderate-income borrowers. They’re available to qualifying first-time homebuyers as well as experienced homeowners.
Features & Benefits
HomeReady & Home Possible loans offer qualifying borrowers many great features & benefits:
- Down payment requirements as low as 3%.
- Funds for down payment and closing costs may come from gifts, grants and other sources; no minimum borrower contribution is required for single-family properties.
- Certain types of rental unit income and boarder (or roommate) income may be used toward borrower’s income qualifications.
- Available to borrowers who own another property.
- Non-occupant co-borrowers (such as a parent) permitted.
- Borrowers putting less than 20% down can cancel their private mortgage insurance (PMI), once eligible.
Qualifications & Requirements
Both loan programs have income eligibility limits – specifically, borrowers must make no more than 80% of their area median income (AMI). First-time homebuyers may need to complete a homebuyer education course as well.
A Bank of Canton mortgage lender can calculate your AMI for you and summarize the HomeReady requirements and/or Home Possible requirements that apply to your situation.
