Buying a home can be a daunting experience, especially for first-time homebuyers who may not have enough savings to cover the upfront costs of a down payment, closing costs, and other expenses. We have a special program available in select markets to help eligible borrowers overcome these obstacles.
Freddie Mac BorrowSmart Access is a Special Purpose Credit Program (SPCP) that expands eligibility and provides financial assistance to first-time homebuyers who wish to purchase a primary residence in select under-served communities. The program offers a grant that may be used to fund up to 100% of a buyer's required cash to close, which can be a game-changer for many low- and moderate-income families.
What's even more exciting about this program is that buyers who are at or below 140% of the area median income (AMI) may be eligible for the grant. This means that even those who earn slightly above the median income but still face financial challenges can benefit from the program.
The grant can be used to cover a range of expenses, including the down payment, closing costs, and even a permanent rate buydown(discount points). This flexibility allows borrowers to tailor their financial assistance to their specific needs, giving them more control over the home buying process.
In addition to the grant, Freddie Mac BorrowSmart Access also offers a 1-year Cinch Home Warranty reimbursed by Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC. This budget-friendly warranty comes with a $50 deductible and provides easy scheduling and service, giving borrowers peace of mind and protection against unexpected repair costs.
It's worth noting that the program has certain eligibility requirements and restrictions. For example, the program is only available for homes located in select under-served communities and the borrowers must meet certain income and credit score criteria. Additionally, the program is subject to change and may not be available in all states.
Overall, Freddie Mac BorrowSmart Access is a valuable program that helps first-time homebuyers overcome financial barriers and achieve their dream of homeownership. By expanding eligibility and offering financial assistance, the program makes it easier for families to invest in their future and build wealth through homeownership. If you're considering buying a home in one of the qualifying communities, this program is definitely worth exploring.
