0% Down Purchase

0% down Purchase

Down payment assistance programs continue to be a valuable resource for low to moderate income homebuyers across the country.  Golden Mortgage Corporation offers an exclusive 0% Down Purchase program with our lending partners in NJ and NY.  Simply put, qualified borrowers receive a 3% down payment assistance loan up to $15,000, from the Lender.  This allows buyers to get into a home right now with no down payment.

Here's how it works:

  • First lien mortgage meets Loan to Value (LTV) requirements
  • Lender provides a second lien mortgage for 3% of the purchase price, up to $15,000
  • Second lien has no monthly payment requirement and no interest
  • Second lien balance is due when the first lien loan is refinanced or paid off, whichever comes first
  • Payments on the second lien can be made throughout the loan term, but are not required

How borrowers can qualify:

  • Borrowers must be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the address of the property they are buying and meet Home Possible guideline requirements.  Link to Fannie Mae property query: https://ami-lookup-tool.fanniemae.com
  • For very-low income borrowers whose qualifying income is at or below 50% AMI, they will receive a $2,500 credit as part of the 3% assistance
  • This credit does not need to be repaid by the borrower and lowers their debt obligation from the second lien
  • 620+ FICO and Loan to Value must be equal to or greater than 95% LTV, up to 97%

OR

  • At least one borrower must be a first-time homebuyer and meet the HomeOne and lender underwriting requirements
  • First-time homebuyer is defined as someone who has not had ownership in a home in the past 3 years
  • FICO credit score 700+ and LTV must be greater than 95%, up to 97%
