Are you looking to purchase a new home, but you want to keep as much money as you can in your wallet? You may want to consider the Conventional 1% Down with Equity Boost program. For about the same amount of money that you spend on lattes for a year, you could actually own a home through this program.

Here’s how the program works:

You put down 1% (by saving money and not buying lattes for year). Your lender contributes 2%. You end up having 3% equity in your new home at closing. This program is a great way to realize your dreams of homeownership when you don’t have a lot of money saved for a down payment.

Program Highlights:

- Single family homes only.

- Up to $5,000 maximum gift from the lender to be used for the down payment only.

- 1% down payment may come from gift money.

- Competitive low rates available.

- Available with no monthly mortgage insurance.

- Closing within 30 days or less.

How to Qualify:

- You must meet requirements for a conventional loan program.

- You must meet specific income requirements.

- You must occupy the home as your primary residence.

- You can’t own another residence.

- You must complete a home buyer online course if you haven’t owned a home in the last 3 years.

- You must have a minimum FICO score of 700.

- You must have a maximum debt-to-income ratio of 43%.

This program is not a down payment assistance program through state or government agencies. It’s a unique program that Grandview Lending, a mortgage broker firm located in Indianapolis, can offer to qualified borrowers to help them attain their dream of owning a home.
