Down Payment Assistance:

If you’re thinking about buying a house and have never bought one before, you might be wondering how much money you need to buy a home. Most prospective homeowners understand that there is a bit of an initial investment, but are completely unaware of how much cash is needed to buy a house. Of course they know they need to have cash on hand for a down payment in most circumstances, but there is more required than just the down payment when it comes to buying a home. So how much money will you really need? Here are the primary up front costs associated with buying a home:

Down Payment Funding/Fees:

Most types of home loans require a minimum down payment of 3.5% of the purchase price on a home unless you’re doing USDA or VA financing. Even then the benefits of utilizing a down payment assistance program can help. With so many options available let us help guide you through the process.
Arizona Home Plus mortgage program has been updated to offer a greater variety of opportunities to Arizona home buyers who need down payment assistance. These expanded options include different down payment amounts, higher maximum loan amounts and income limits, different loan programs and different qualifying criteria.

The Arizona Home Plus home loan program is popular because the funds have been consistently available over the past few years. As such, many people in Arizona have been able to achieve the pride, stability, freedom and wealth that accompanies home ownership. The assistance program is structured as a three-year, no interest, no payment, soft second mortgage, forgiven monthly at a rate of 1/36 over the term of the lien. Once again, the lien is completely forgiven after you stay in the home for three years without refinancing. This type of lien is sometimes referred to as a silent second mortgage because you do not have to pay interest or make payments. Money from the Home Plus assistance is combined with government-sponsored mortgage programs and can be used for down payment and/or closing costs equal to as much as 5% of the mortgage loan. The path to homeownership starts here!
