Why Fannie Mae Home Ready?

 

This program aims to help meet the diverse needs of today’s buyers. It is designed for creditworthy, low to moderate income borrowers, with expanded eligibility in designated low-income communities.

If your income fits the home ready income limit in the area you wish to buy or refinance (primary residence only), you can possibly use this program for financing. It could possibly offer discounted interest rate pricing if that is the case. Searching for the address of the property you wish to purchase, you will be given the maximum amount of income you can make to achieve this program.

This program offers 30 Year, 20 Year, 15 Year and 10 year Fixed rate programs.

 

Tips

It can be difficult to use this program. We often see that income levels exceed what is allowed for the area a client wishes to buy. This program doesn’t always “work” in that sense, but if you can locate a property and you are at or below that income level stated, you can attempt to obtain this product.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving-fade” parallax_image=”3454″][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1572845195964{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.95) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1670257418486{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 8% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”]
