Zero Down Purchase

Zero Down Purchase

Down payment assistance programs remain a valuable resource for homebuyers nationwide. To help our clients and to better serve borrowers, we offer an exclusive 0% Down Purchase program. Qualified borrowers receive a 3% down payment assistance loan, up to $15,000, from one of our lender partners. This enables us to assist more borrowers in purchasing a home immediately with no down payment.

Here's how it works

  • First lien mortgage meets LTV requirements
  • One of our lender partners provides a second lien mortgage for 3% of the purchase price, up to $15,000
  • Second lien has no monthly payment requirement and no interest
  • Second lien balance is due when the first lien loan is refinanced or paid off, whichever comes first
  • Payments on the second lien can be made throughout the loan term, but are not required

How borrows can qualify

  • Borrowers must be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the address of the property they are buying and meet Home Possible® guideline requirements
  • For very-low income borrowers whose qualifying income is at or below 50% AMI (VLIP borrowers), they will receive a $2,500 credit as part of the 3% assistance
  • This credit does not need to be repaid by the borrower and lowers their debt obligation from the second lien
  • 620+ FICO and LTV must be equal to or greater than 95% LTV, up to 97%

- OR -

  • At least one borrower must be a first-time homebuyer and meet HomeOne® and UWM’s guideline requirements
  • First-time homebuyer is defined as someone who has not had ownership interest in a home in the last 3 years
  • 700 FICO and LTV must be greater than 95%, up to 97%

Our exclusive 0% Down Purchase program is a powerful tool designed to benefit borrowers, assist our realtor partners in securing more qualified buyers, and foster stronger relationships with real estate agents.
