Need money for a down payment to help you buy a home of your own?
Homeownership is possible even if you don’t have a lot of savings for the out-of-pocket costs that come with a home purchase.
This program could help you buy a home of your own by reducing the strain of a down payment and closing costs. You may be eligible even if this isn’t your first home purchase.
How NeighborhoodLIFT helps with the down payment
The NeighborhoodLIFT program reduces out-of-pocket costs when buying a home by providing forgivable, interest-free down payment loans with no required payments. Eligible homebuyers use the money from these loans for the down payment and closing costs of a home mortgage.
How does the forgivable loan work? The homebuyer is required to live in the home as a primary residence for at least 5 years. The down payment loan does not need to be repaid – meaning it is forgivable – as long as the home isn’t sold, refinanced, or foreclosed, and the title isn’t transferred during that time.
Eligible homebuyers need to complete HUD-approved homebuyer education, and the home must be located in a designated NeighborhoodLIFT area.
Homebuyers may select to work with Wells Fargo or any NeighborhoodLIFT-approved lender for their home financing needs.
