The Atlanta Development Authority has Homebuyer Down-Payment
Assistance Programs. There are four programs which I have
recently become aware of: Beltline Affordable Housing Trust Fund,
Atlanta Affordable Homeownership Program, Opportunity Down Payment
Assistance Program, Vine City/ English Ave Trust Fund. For all of these
programs the borrowers must qualify for a first mortgage in addition
to down payment assistance, which is a second mortgage. The buyer
qualifications vary from program to program. This is the information
for the Opportunity Down Payment Assistance Program.
This program provides the buyer with a down payment
equal to 10% of the purchase price to a maximum of $25,289. There are no monthly payments required on the
second mortgage. The maximum purchase price is $252,890. The
qualifications for the buyer is as follows:
-
If the buyer currently owns a home it must be
sold prior to closing on the new home
-
Buyer must purchase within the incorporated city
limits of Atlanta.
-
No first time homebuyer requirements
-
Homebuyer counseling is required.
The buyer can qualify for a Conventional, FHA,
VA 30 year fixed rate loan.
The following income limits apply depending on the
size of the household:
$71,200 1 or 2 persons
$81,880 3 or more persons
Properties that are eligible are: single family
detached homes, townhomes and condominiums located within the city
limits of Atlanta .
How is the down payment loan repaid? The deferred
loan requires no payments and is forgiven if borrower occupies the
property for at least 10 years.
