Welcome Home First-time Buyer Program
Welcome Home opens the door to first-time buyers looking to purchase one-unit residential homes. Eligible borrowers must have a household income at or below the HUD area median income level. Settle into your new home soon with low rates, low down payment requirements.
Low Down Payment Requirement - 97% Financing
Borrowers can purchase a home with very little money down, and a portion or all of the down payment can be in the form of gifts. We also allow up to 6% of the seller credit (based on the sale price) to be used towards closing costs and prepaid expenses.
Please note that homebuyer education is a requirement of this program.
Please select a seminar date and location that's convenient to you.
