What are the terms of the Down Payment Assistance Loan?

The down payment assistance is for home buyers purchasing a primary residence with a FHA loan only.  Down Payment Funds are not available if using a conventional, VA or USDA loan.  You are allowed to use a non-occupying co-borrower on the loan in order to income qualify but all borrowers must have a minimum 620 middle FICO score.  If you are under the 115% limit for Average Median Income Limit for the area you are purchasing the home then you are eligible for a Soft Second Mortgage for 3.5% of the purchase.  After you make 36 on time payments to the first FHA mortgage loan then the soft second mortgage is forgiven and you do not have to pay it back.

If you are over 115% of the median income limit for your household size then you are eligible for the hard second mortgage loan which is your choice of a 10 year 0% interest second mortgage loan or a 30 year 5% interest second mortgage loan.  You must pay back the hard second mortgage loan.  We must also count a payment for the hard second mortgage loan in your debt to income ratio for qualifying purposes.

*First lien interest rates maybe higher when using a DPA second.

How much down payment assistance do you get?

You are able to get 3.5% of the purchase price toward the down payment as a second mortgage.  For Example:

FHA Mortgage Loan – $193,000 (96.5%)

Down Payment Required – $7,000 (3.5%)

PRMI Dream Maker Loan – $7,000 (3.5%)

Where is the Down Payment Program Available?

The PRMI Dream Maker Program is available throughout the United States from PRMI except for New York.  The income restrictions for the soft second are based on the average median income (AMI) for the county where the property is located.
