LOAN TO OWN PROVO REDEVELOPMENT

One of the better programs to minimize the down payment for buyers is the Loan-to-Own grant. For more information about the program visit www.housingservicesut.org .This program has income limits and other strict requirements that must be met in order to qualify. Please contact a mortgage officer for specifics.

Basically, this program will grant between $3,500 to $7,000 (depending on your credit score) toward down payment and closing costs. The buyer is required to pay one-half of the 3% down payment. The other half of closing costs will be granted by the program. The amount of the grant does get recorded as a second Deed of Trust. However, it is recorded at 0% interest with no payments due. 1/5 of the grant amount is forgiven every year so that after 5 years the balance is zero. The only chance of paying back the grant is if the home is sold (or refinanced in some cases) before 5 years.
