This is a good program for those individuals or couples that do not have good credit that cannot qualify for a conventional loan but have an income that can make sufficient payments.
The highlights of the program are simple. Home values must be between $100,000 to $150,000. Buyers must be in a credit repair program to reduce debt and improve credit. Monthly payments are equal to 6.5% of a conventional mortgage. The interest rate is 3% on an approved contract for deed up to 24 months. A 2% cash reserve is created for approved fixes on a rehabilitated house.
The program is said to risk mortgagors to financial risk.
