Today, more than ever before, there are a number of programs out there to help you purchase a home! Here we highlight a few of these programs. For example, there are grants for down payments, help with home repairs, assistance for union workers, low credit score mortgages, rent to purchase options, and more! Often these special programs require a lot of paper work and sometimes will not be presented to you as a solution by your mortgage specialist. Call us today at 845-401-4345 to explore these possible solutions. We will do everything we can to give you the “giff” of the American dream.

Need help coming up with a down payment? State of New York Mortgage Agency (Sonyma) now offers a $10,000 grant (FREE MONEY) for your down payment. Additionally, Sonyma will help you finance your closing costs. If that is not enough, after living in your home for a qualifying number of years your mortgage will be FORGIVEN!

Have a low credit score? Recently, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) revised their lending guidelines. Now you can qualify for a FHA mortgage with a FICA (credit score) of 580!

Need to do home repairs? The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has a program to help you complete needed repairs on your home.

Are you a union worker? There is a program that will help in many ways. For example, this program will help you with closing costs. Additionally, if you can’t pay your mortgage due to a family emergency? This program will cover your monthly mortgage payments for up to six months.

Renting, but want to buy? Rent with the option to purchase is becoming more and more popular. In this case, part of your monthly rent goes towards the home purchase. In some cases, only one or two years of renting will lead to you owning the home!

Do you not qualify for any of these programs? It is a buyers market and today many sellers are offering incentives. You may be able to negotiate for help with closing costs, home repairs, property tax payments or home owners association fees.

Let us help you explore the best option for you! Contact us today at 845-401-4345 to learn more! The “giff” of the American dream can be yours!

Financing Your Home >Owner Financing

If you are selling a house in which you have a lot of equity, and you don't need that equity to buy a new home, an owner-financing agreement may benefit you and your buyers.

Seller financing arrangements usually involve the buyers securing the largest portion of their purchase money from a mortgage company and getting a smaller second loan from the sellers. For example, they may finance 75% from a lender, put in 15% from savings, and ask the sellers to finance the remaining amount. The terms and interest rates on seller carry-backs are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Sellers may be able to negotiate a note that provides a better return on their money than 1-to-5 year CD's or treasury notes. They should ensure that the note protects them to the fullest. Use common sense when considering such a loan, and verify the buyers' income, credit history, and job stability before making your final decision.
