Many factors are considered when applying for a
low down payment home loan. These factors
include a good credit background, sufficient
appraisal value, and adequate income to pay the
monthly mortgage payment. While these factors
are important other considerations are also
taken.
Your home loan professional will be able to
discuss your qualifications with you on an
individual basis. At this time other factors
including your ability to pay the closing costs
will be discussed. Closing costs are typically
2% to 3% of the price of the house. Your home
loan officer will also discuss with you certain
formulas that are used to determine your long
term ability to pay for the home loan.

Loans and gifts from family, friends,
and other organizations can help you put
together a down payment sufficient for your
home loan needs. The percentage of the loan or
gift that is available for use as a down
payment can vary depending on the type of home
loan you qualify for. It is important to
discuss any loans or gifts you plan to use as a
down payment with your mortgage lender.
Many companies also offer programs to their
employees to make the home buying experience
easier. 401K plans are often used for this
purpose and employees are permitted to withdraw
from their 401K plans without penalty to
provide a down payment on a home loan. Making
use of your 401K program can be useful and
beneficial but there can be drawbacks that must
be examined.

There are national non-profit
organizations dedicated to assisting homebuyers
with their down payment and closing costs.
Housing authorities are agencies in cities and
states around the nation that handle housing
issues in their designated areas. Many housing
authorities strive to provide stable and
affordable housing for low and moderate income
persons and create living environments that
help residents learn to live independently.
Your mortgage broker is educated about current
housing authority issues and can serve as a
liaison between you, the borrower, and your
Housing Authority.

Purchasing a home is a goal shared by
many people but it can be difficult for some to
collect the funds needed for a down payment.
Fortunately, there are many programs to assist
those who need help with down payments. There
are national assistance programs and programs
specifically for residents of your state. The
precise requirements of the individual programs
will need to be discussed with your mortgage
broker but many assistance programs do not
require repayment of the gift and do not place
caps on the borrower's income to qualify for
assistance. One such program is called
Neighborhood Gold. This down payment assistance
corporation provides free grant money to
borrowers with no down payment. The
qualifications for the Neighborhood Gold
program are relatively simple to meet and your
mortgage lenders are knowledgeable of the
requirements.
