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.
