Forgivable Grant Program

Do you meet the general criteria for a home loan but lack the down payment?
Because this happens far too often Smart Mortgage Centers has created forgivable grant programs that provide down payment and closing cost assistance for borrowers who would otherwise qualify for a mortgage.
Grants for homebuyers are not limited to first time homebuyers.  In order to qualify for the Grant Program the 1st mortgage will have to be completed by Smart Mortgage Centers.

Grant Program Highlights

  • 620 Credit Score Required
  •  Grant is completely forgiven – no repayment required!
  •  Grant can be used for down payment
  •  Seller Credit of 6% is allowed
  •  Gift funds are allowed!
  •  Borrower(s) not required to be First Time Homebuyers.
  •  Income limit is based on qualifying income used for transaction, not household income.
