Traditionally, renters and potential homebuyers were burdened with saving large down payments in order to get more favorable mortgage terms. For potential homebuyers with low-to-modest incomes; however, a 20% or larger down payment could make home ownership out of reach.
At First Bank Mortgage, we believe owning a home should be attainable for all qualified homebuyers who manage their money wisely. Offered by Fannie Mae, HomeReady is our affordable, low down payment mortgage product designed for credit-worthy borrowers of nearly all income levels.
