Time to buy a house. No Money for Down Payment. No Problem.

Simply put, qualified borrowers receive a 3% down payment assistance loan, up to $15,000. This allows you to get into a home right now with no down payment.

Here's how it works:

  • First lien mortgage meets LTV requirements
  • A second lien mortgage for 3% of the purchase price is provided, 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
  • At least one borrower must be a first-time homebuyer and meet HomeOne® and UW’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%

0% Down Purchase is a down payment assistance program that allows borrowers to receive a 3% loan up to $15,000. Borrowers will have no required monthly payment on the second lien and the second lien does not accrue interest. The second lien is due in full as a balloon payment upon refinance of the 1st lien, a payoff or the final payment of the amortization schedule of the 1st lien.
