Borrowed Down Payment Program
Did you know that it is still possible to borrow your down payment for your mortgage?!
Many folks think that this product is no longer available, however it is indeed! It is often misconstrued with another product: the 100% Financing Product, which is no longer available.
The key to the Borrowed Down Payment Product is that the lender must include the funds that were borrowed as a liability, as part of your application.
For instance:
You borrow $12,500.00 towards your purchase of a $250,000.00
home purchase. The loan amount of $12,500.00 must be part of the
liabilities on your application: if revolving credit then you must input
a repayment amount of 3% of the $12,500 therefore $375 per month.
Although details vary from one lender to another, it may well be worth your while to inquire with the Welch & Co Team about this product!
