While the specific programs may have different income limits, in general they serve borrowers with incomes up to $167,800. Loan programs available at 3% or less down payment.
One of the most popular programs allow the buyers to choose between $5000, $10,000 or $15,000 of assistance if needed and can be used towards the down payment and closing costs. The assistance is structured as a zero interest 30-year second lien ballon loan.

There are several loan programs that would allow the homebuyer to build a newly constructed home prior to their existing home selling. Contact one of the mortgage originators to explain how this is done.
