Help with down payment is not just for first time home buyers
I wanted to quickly share a video about a fantastic down payment assistance program we launched about a month and a half ago call Luminate PATH National Down Payment Assistance Program
Here are the highlights:
- It's not just for first-time homebuyers; anyone can benefit.
- You can keep your current home if you own one and rent it out.
- No need to sell your current house if you're looking to move.
- There is a forgivable option and a repayable option
- No income limits
These guidelines offer flexibility. While I'm summarizing here, feel free to reach out for more details. The reason behind this video is to shed light on the available options, especially with soaring housing costs and rates. Buying a house and saving for a down payment can be tough right now, but there are solutions.
Thank you for being amazing clients. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Feel free to share this video with anyone who might benefit. Have a great day!
