First time homebuyers often experience the most difficulty in saving a significant down payment and everyone should have the opportunity to buy a home. For this reason the Federal government has developed two loan programs to assist homebuyers that have a little or no down payment. These programs are called the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Veteran's Administration (VA). These programs are not solely intended for first time home buyers; I will be able to determine if you qualify and if so which program is acceptable for your needs. FHA and VA loans can be especially advantageous when combined with a HFA or MCC first time homebuyer program.

First time home buyer programs are designed to help borrowers who may not have enough money to pay the full cost of the down payment or the closing costs on a mortgage. These programs make obtaining a mortgage more cost effective. There are even programs specifically for residents of each state. First time home buyer programs are available to those who have not owned a home for the past three years.

Joe's Community home buyer programs, (CHP's), reduce the down payment the borrower must pay to 0%.
The closing costs can be gift funds, a grant, or seller assistance up to 3% of sale price. However, in some cases, a minimum investment of $500 from the borrower's own funds is required. Some of these of home loans can require the home buyer(s) to take a class on home ownership in their state. Upon completion of the class, the homebuyer will receive a certificate that reduces the cash requirement and expands the qualification ratios. Community Homebuyer Programs have been making it possible for many people to have the opportunity to buy a home.

Escrow is a deposit of funds, a deed or other instrument by one party for the delivery to another party upon completion of an event. In simpler terms, escrow is where the transaction changes hands and prevents the seller from not receiving the money from the sale and prevents the buyer from not receiving the home that was purchased. Escrow is important to both buyers and sellers during the mortgage process. In some cases, earnest monies, are given from a potential buyer of a property to the seller of the same property. Usually, the seller's attorney places the money into an interest bearing escrow account. These same monies are then applied towards down payment and/or closing costs at the closing of the transaction.

A Mortgage Credit Certificate or MCC is a certificate awarded by your local government agency authorizing the home loan borrower to take certain federal income tax credits. The credits awarded help to free up funds and make the monthly home loan payments more affordable for the homeowner. First time home buyers are typically the candidates eligible for an MCC, but in special cases that you may discuss with Joe, this requirement may be waived. Income and purchase price requirements also vary state to state and should be covered in conversations with Joe.
