It can be discouraging to do everything right, but still be unable to buy a home just because you can’t afford a lump sum down payment. Most sellers want at least 20% down, which means you would need to put down $30,000 on a modest $150,000 home. That’s more than most people have in their savings accounts. The good news is that a low bank balance doesn’t have to prevent you from becoming a homeowner.
If you have steady employment and pay your bills on time, you could qualify for down payment assistance. It’s designed for people just like you who are financially responsible, but just don’t have the cash needed for a down payment. Most of us experience financial setbacks at some point in our lives, but they shouldn’t keep your dreams of homeownership from becoming a reality. We have a proven process that can get you into a house in as few as 30 days. Here’s a rundown of that process
• You must be employed or own a business
• You must have a credit score of 580 or higher.
• You must attend an online homebuyer education course.
There are a few more guidelines. Take our online eligibility quiz or speak with one of our down payment assistance specialists today to learn more.
First, you will speak with a down payment assistance specialist who will let you know which information and documentation to provide. If you supply accurate information within 24 hours, you will receive an approval decision within the next two days.
Your down payment assistance specialist will guide you through the entire process via phone or text. We understand that loan approvals – and homebuying in general – can be stressful. That’s why we are here for you whenever you need us to answer your questions and give advice. This is not a process you will have to go through alone. Closed4U is with you every step of the way.
Don’t be discouraged by the high price of down payments. There is more than enough money out there to help you afford them; you just have to reach out and take it. Call us when you’re ready to take the first step. You could be in your new home within 30 days!
