MEETING PRESIDENTIAL GOALS

Promoting Economic Opportunity and Ownership

  • Supporting the President’s ambitious agenda for expanded homeownership by assisting approximately 40,000 low-income families with the downpayment on their first home.
  • Preparing families for homeownership, identifying predatory lending practices, and helping current homeowners avoid default.
  • Proposing two new mortgage programs that would help more than 250,000 families achieve homeownership.
  • Supplying tax credits to increase the supply of single family affordable homes.

Supporting a Compassionate Society

  • Working to end chronic homelessness through innovative local strategies to move chronically homeless individuals from the street to permanent supportive housing.
  • Helping ex-offenders get a second chance at employment.

Making Government More Effective

  • Reforming Housing Vouchers to improve results and better serve two million low-income households.
  • Expanding outreach to faith-based and community organizations to level the playing field for the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s formula and competitive grants.
  • Reducing improper payments in rental assistance programs.

PROMOTING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND OWNERSHIP

    More Americans have achieved the dream of homeownership than at any time in our Nation’s history: Sixty-nine percent of households own their homes. For the first time ever in 2004, a majority of minority households own their own homes. The 2006 Budget supports ambitious goals to:

  • Add 5.5 million new minority homeowners by 2010 (goal set in 2002)—1.9 million new minority homeowners were added by 2004; and
  • Increase the supply of affordable homeownership units by seven million over the next 10 years (goal set in 2004).

American Dream Downpayment Initiative

    Saving enough cash for the downpayment and closing costs is the greatest obstacle to homeownership for many. To help overcome this obstacle, the President proposed new Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding to help low-income families purchase their first homes. On December 16, 2003, President Bush signed the American Dream Downpayment Act. Six months later, HUD distributed $161.5 million in downpayment funds to over 400 State and local Governments. These funds have already helped over 4,000 families purchase their first homes; 50 percent of those families are minorities. The 2006 Budget provides $200 million to continue this initiative.

On December 16, 2003, President Bush signed the American Dream Downpayment Act. As a result of this initiative, on October 29, 2004, Taryn Ramos was able to purchase her first home with the downpayment assistance grants administered by Fresno, California.

 

Housing Counseling

    The Budget proposes $40 million for Housing Counseling to prepare families for homeownership, identify predatory lending practices, and help current homeowners avoid default. In 2006, HUD will assist approximately 800,000 families to become homeowners or avoid foreclosure, using faith-based and community organizations in this effort.

Ensuring Government-Sponsored Enterprises Promote Affordable Housing

 

A bar chart titled, New Affordable Housing Goals detailing the percentage of mortgage purchases for low to moderate income families; a special affordable category; and underserved families.  For 2001–2004 the percentage for low to moderate was around 50% with a goal of steadily increasing through 2008 to 60%.   For 2001–2004 the percentage for special affordable was around 20% with a goal of steadily increasing through 2008 to 30%.  For 2001–2004 the percentage for underserved was less than 40% with a goal of steadily increasing through 2008 to over 40%.

 

    Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) were chartered to help low- and moderate-income families secure mortgages. HUD recently published a rule that requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase their purchases of mortgages for low- and moderate-income households and underserved communities. These new goals will push the GSEs to genuinely lead the market in creating homeownership opportunities for less advantaged Americans.

    In addition to increasing the annual housing goals through 2008 (see accompanying chart), HUD’s rule establishes new home purchase sub-goals in each of the three goal areas. This is intended to focus the GSE’s efforts on purchases of homes rather than refinancings. HUD projects that over the next four years, the GSEs will purchase an additional 400,000 home loans that meet these new and more aggressive goals as a result of the new rule.

FHA Zero Down Payment and Payment Incentives

    To remove two large barriers to homeownership—the down payment and impaired credit—the Budget proposes two mortgage programs. The Zero Down Payment mortgage allows first-time buyers with a strong credit record to finance 100 percent of the home purchase price and closing costs. For borrowers with limited or weak credit histories, a second program, Payment Incentives, initially charges a higher insurance premium and reduces premiums after a period of on-time payments. In 2006, these new mortgage programs would assist more than 250,000 families achieve homeownership.

Single Family Homeownership Tax Credit

    The President proposes a new Single Family Homeownership Tax Credit that will increase the supply of single family affordable homes by up to an additional 50,000 homes annually. Under the President’s plan, builders of affordable homes for middle-income purchasers will receive a tax credit. State housing finance agencies will award tax credits to single family developments located in a census tract with median income equal to 80 percent or less of area median income and will be limited to homebuyers in the same income range. The credits may not exceed 50 percent of the cost of constructing a new home or rehabilitating an existing property. Each State would have a homeownership credit ceiling adjusted for inflation each year and equal to the greater of $1.75 times the State population or $2 million. In total, the tax credit will provide $2.5 billion over five years.

Homeownership Vouchers

    The Homeownership Voucher program, while still new, has successfully paved a path for low-income Americans to become homeowners. Strong and committed collaboration among public housing agencies, local non-profits, and lenders, as well as pre- and post-homeownership counseling for families has proven essential in making the program work. The greatest challenge to the success of the program is finding lenders who are willing to participate.

    Although the Homeownership Voucher program is voluntary, a Program Assessment Rating Tool analysis completed on the program shows that it has over-achieved its annual goals consistently since the program began. In its first four years, the program helped over 2,000 low-income families that were renting through the Section 8 program to become homeowners. In 2006, the program plans to assist 5,000 families achieve homeownership.

Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation

    The Budget increases funding for the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation to $118 million. The Corporation, a public nonprofit organization chartered by the Congress in 1978 and independent of HUD, is also working to expand minority homeownership. The Corporation is pledging to provide direct assistance to over 170,000 families in 2006 through affordable mortgage and rehabilitation lending, comprehensive homebuyer education, and counseling services.

When you want to buy your first home you will also need your first mortgage loan. As a first time homebuyer the first question is whether you are actually ready to buy. Finding the right first home is not always easy and a good REALTOR can help you in the process. If you haven’t selected a REALTOR we are glad to recommend a REALTOR that works with First time homebuyers. And getting a first time homebuyer mortgage loan with us will be the easy part.

Are you ready to be a first time home buyer, lets take you through the steps a that we use to decide if you qualify for a first time home buyer loan. When you take out a loan, you sign documents that say you promise to pay back the loan.

Get PREQUALIFIED first,

 

A first time homebuyer loan,

To decide if you will be able to repay a first time homebuyer loan, your loan officer will look at many different pieces of information about you. This process is called underwriting. This information shows how well you have repaid your debts in the past, whether you are likely to repay your debts in the future, and your ability to repay the mortgage and your current debts.

There are first time homebuyer program guidelines that help a us in looking at these pieces of information about you. But you should also remember that there is some flexibility in these first time homebuyer guidelines, because we represent so many financial situation. If you are very strong in one area, it may help balance out another area in which you aren't quite as strong.

Time on your Job is important. Having a steady job as a first time home buyer helps you to keep your promise to pay back a mortgage loan. If you have been working continuously for two years or more, you are considered to have steady employment. A lender will need to know your job history, and it will be a factor in whether you qualify for a first time home buyer loan. However, you do not have to have held the same job for two years in order to be approved for the mortgage loan. Job moves that result in equal or more pay and continue to use proven skills are a plus for you. If you have been working continuously for less than two years, the mortgage lender will look for an explanation..

.

 We will order a credit report to verify the information that you give and to check on how well you have kept your promises to repay your debts. Credit reports are provided by credit reporting companies that make inquiries through a wide range of available sources of information: banks that may have given you a car loan, credit card companies, even gasoline companies and department stores that offer credit cards.

 If you have previously owned a home, and your mortgage loan has been foreclosed upon within the last seven years, the foreclosure will be revealed on your credit report. Having a foreclosure on your records doesn't mean you can buy another home. IF you’ve had a foreclosure inside a chapter 7 bankruptcy you could qualify as quickly as 1 day after the discharge date.

If you have declared bankruptcy within the past ten years, that also will be revealed on your credit report, We can qualify first time borrower for 100% 1 day after bankruptcy and we can further qualify borrower that are currently in chapter 13 bankruptcy. Reestablishing  credit and show that you are again able to manage your financial affairs is important.

Sometimes credit reports are inaccurate, or they give a misleading picture of past credit problems that have since been resolved. We can except receipts or letters of proof that issues have been resolved and we won’t have to wait for the credit bureau to update the info.


If you have never had any credit cards or taken out a loan through a financial institution, the various credit reporting firms may not be able to issue a credit score on you. In that case, you may be able to use a "nontraditional" credit history. For example, you may be able to document that you pay your rent, telephone bills, or utility payments on time each month. You can put these records together yourself by making copies of canceled checks or showing copies of monthly bills that do not have any late charges. A mortgage lender may be able to help you put this information together

If you have a good record of paying your rent and other bills and will be able to prove that record. You will be approved for a 100% first time buyers mortgage.

Some lenders have programs to help a first time buyer. With some of these programs, you may be able to accept a gift from a relative or to borrow a portion of the money you will need for the down payment and closing costs from a local non-profit organization or government agency. We may be able to get down payment assistance program or other first time home buyer funds that you will not have to repay and can use to cover some of these costs.

ZEROtoCLOSE - offers the lowest interest rates on loan products including second mortgages, mortgage home loans, refinancing, debt consolidation, first time home buyers and who can use first time home buyer information...to utilize First Time Buyer programs in your area simply apply at ZEROtoCLOSE. First time homebuyer programs are designed to help borrowers with moderate or low incomes and first time buyers make a substantial down payment on their first home in the Nashville,Memphis,Knoxville,Chattanooga,Louisville,Lexington MSA area or to assist them in paying the related closing costs on a mortgage. The programs that we offer to qualified first time buyers can make attaining a mortgage possible. There are even programs specifically for local residents which provide governmental help such as addi grants and community second programs ask your Mortgage PRO about these programs. First time homebuyers often can include those who have not owned a home for the past three years or sometimes as little as 12 months depending on the program. Even if you have owned a home in the past you should check with a home loan representative at ZEROtoCLOSE to determine which first time homebuyer programs you may qualify for.

Ask your Mortgage PRO about our Jumbo 'Smart Mortgage' Home Loans. The best Jumbo mortgage Product Avaiable In Tennesee.No hit to the rate for Jumbo Mortgages. If you have a Jumbo Mortgage Loan with any other lender Your Probably Paying to Much!!!

We enjoy helping First Time Homebuyers... ..and we're experts at solving the common problems these buyers face!

First time buyers enjoy 5 minute prequalifications and 100% financing in most cases.We offer every available type of loan and down payment assistance program that exists.First time homebuyers can get an FHA home loan with down payment assistance and bring zero down payment to close on a new home purchase.Mortgages with zero '0' down payment are the Norm for first time home buyers with us.

ZERO DOWN AND THE 80/20 LOAN

WITH NO Mortgage INS.

Most home buyers and first time home buyers would agree, the biggest

obstacle to home ownership can often be the down payment. And while the

percentage needed for a mortgage has dropped in the last 20 years from

the traditional 20 percent to 10, 5 and in some cases even 3 percent,

the prices of homes have doubled, tripled and even quadrupled.

That is no longer a problem !  We have an expanded line of zero down

100% financing options that are available to all Credit Levels,

Great Credit of course, but also Bad credit and borrowers with no established

credit including First time Buyers.  Zero down payment

mortgages that also allow financing of the closing costs. We

even make it possible for new owners to leave the closing with more

cash than they had when they walked in -- at the price of course, of

more debt.

Many companies aggressively marketing zero-equity loans

 "We give you a choice you can choose a Zero Down Plus with P.M.I.

 or an 80/ 20 No Down, No P.M.I."

The Zero Down Plus mortgage is a 103 percent

first mortgage that requires private mortgage insurance. The 80/23

mortgage, an 80 percent first mortgage plus a 23 percent second mortgage

and still NO MI

With the Zero Down Plus mortgage the extra 3 percent usually

covers the borrower's closing costs. Still No MI

An example of the difference that a no mi mortgage makes,

 the principal and interest payments on a $250,000

Zero Down Plus mortgage for 30 years at 8.875 percent -- the current

rate -- would be $1,989 a month. Private mortgage insurance on the

part of the mortgage that exceeds 80 percent of the home's value, the

MI would add $203 a month, making the total payment $2,192.

'We Say Yes.....Even When Other Lenders Say No!'

REASONS TO GET PREQUALIFIED BEFORE YOU START SHOPPING FOR A HOME

You do NOT have to have a home under contract to obtain a home loan. The lender is looking at your credit history and income when considering a loan application.

Some potential home buyers think they will have no problem qualifying for a loan only to be disappointed when they find out they don't. Others may afraid they won't qualify so they don't apply. We often see people who don't think they qualify for a home loan but don't know that many lenders offer loan programs for all types of borrowers.

Avoid disappointment resulting from looking at homes that are out of your price range. Looking at homes in a price range you can afford will keep you from being disappointed if you fall in love with a home only to find out that it is beyond your financial abilities.

Insure that you will meet your moving dead line. Knowing you must move by a certain date and still working on proving you are qualified for a loan can be a stressful experience. The two most common problems are resolving credit issues and proving you have the cash for your down payment and closing costs.

Applying for a loan as soon as possible will insure that any incorrect information in your credit history can be corrected before the
