Down Payment Assistance City of Atlanta/Atlanta Development Authority Part IV of IV

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  Vine City/ English Avenue Trust Fund                                                                                                           The program provides the buyer with a down payment of up to 10% of the purchase price, not to exceed $15,000. There are no monthly payments required on the second mortgage. There is no maximum purchase price.  The qualifications for the buyer is as follows:

• Buyer does not have to be a first time homebuyer

• Buyer must purchase within the incorporated city limits of Atlanta and within the Trust Fund Program boundaries

• If the buyer currently owns a home it must be sold prior to the closing on the new property

• 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:

1 person $49,800

2 person  $57,000

3 person  $64,000

4 person  $71,200

5 person  $76,900

Properties that are eligible are: single family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums located within the city limits of Atlanta  nd the Trust Fund Program boundries.

How is the down payment loan repaid? The loan is deferred for five years, repayment is due in full upon sale, transfer, refinancing or when the home is no longer owner-occupied.
