      <title>Down Payment Assistance Program In Georgia - FHLB $5,000 For 2014</title>
      <description>Down Payment Assistance Program In Georgia - FHLB $5,000 For 2014
One down payment assistance program in Georgia - FHLB $5,000 for 2014 may be the solution for first time homebuyers whose credit is good, but may be lacking the total funds for downpayment and or closing costs. Buying a home in 2014 market presents challenges as it is still very competitive in the Atlanta market especially for 200k and below price points as the inventory can be very low. We have investors trying to buy in the same price range as first time home buyers and as a result houses are selling very quickly because of the competition.
The Federal Home Loan Bank, otherwise known as the FHLB, is not a government program; rather, its members are made up of regional and community banks from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Washington DC, and the Carolinas.
FHLB down payment assistance program amount is $5,000 for 2014. FHLB provides 4 to 1 matching funds for first time home buyers or someone that not owned a home in three years.  Funds can be used for down payment and or closing costs for low to moderate income homebuyers.
Each bank, or member, is allocated funds to use towards down payment assistance to help low to moderate income level families purchase a home. Not all banks offer this program and funds are on a first come first serve basis so when the funds run out, they are gone.
The couple below received down payment assistance and this was an easy process for them. FHLB does not require applicants to attend an 8hr HUD buyer course or jump through hoops like many of the other DPA programs require you to do:)
&lt;iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4OtxLNXA0x4"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
Program Highlights:
Buyer’s minimum contribution is $1,000.00
FHLB program will match buyer’s contribution 4-to-1 up to $5,000.00
Funds can be used for down payment, closing costs and or prepaids
Income limits do apply as income must be at or below 80% of the HUD AMI limits
Program is for first time home buyers or if you have not owned a home in 3 years
Buyer must occupy the home for 5 years, after 5 years the total amount is forgiven
Money is interest free, and every year you remain in the home, 20% of the down payment is forgiven
Only available for primary residence purchase transactions
Earnest money and upfront appraisal fees count toward home buyer contribution
Available for homes listed for resale and new construction
No additional underwriting or extra time to process
The following grid shows the general income guidelines to qualify for the FHLB program.

      <title>Down Payment Assistance in Gwinnett County - Gwinnett NSP</title>
      <description>Down Payment Assistance in Gwinnett County - Gwinnett NSP
If you are looking for down payment assistance in GA then the Gwinnett NSP may be a good solution. The Gwinnett  Neighborhood Stabilization Program provides affordable housing to low to middle income homebuyers. Gwinnett NSP buys foreclosed homes and make necessary repairs and sells them to new homebuyers. These homes are in very good move-in ready condition by the time the Gwinnett NSP get through with them.
My client in the video purchased a NSP home and the home she purchased received a new energy star new HVAC unit, energy star rated water heater, new energy star rated kitchen appliances, new light/fan fixtures, new counter-tops, new bathroom fixtures, new carpet, new interior and exterior paint, new roof and they even did a chemical barrier treatment for termites. The Gwinnett NSP did an awesome job on this home.
They have available homes in Gwinnett that are priced from $70,000 to $200,000. All Gwinnett NSP homebuyers will receive up to $22,500 for down payment assistance and or closing costs. This programs allows for homebuyers that may be lacking the funds for down payment or it can help lower the monthly mortgage payment through a reduction in the amount financed.
There are two programs that are available. The first is a soft second mortgage of $14,500 for five years at zero interest and no payments with the principal being reduced at 20 percent per year. After 5 years this $14,500 is forgiven and does not have to be paid back. The second choice is a soft second mortgage of $22,500 for 10 years at zero interest and no payments with the principal being reduced at 10 percent per year. After 10 years this $22,500 does not have to be paid back. If the house is no longer the purchasers primary residence then any remaining principal shall be paid back to the county.
How do you qualify? First, you must not currently own residential property and this includes rental property or a vacation home.
Also:
Qualify for a 30 year, fixed FHA first mortgage
Can only use the down payment assistance on a Gwinnett NSP home
Complete a 8 hour HUD approved homebuyers course
Invest one percent of the purchase price towards the purchase of the home
Be an owner occupant
Meet the income limits below:
Note: Maximum Household Income From All Persons In the Household
1 person  2 person    3 person    4 person    5 person    6 person    7 person    8 person
$58,200      $66,550       $66,550       $74,850       $89,800      $96,450      $103,100     $109,750
Gwinnett NSP only has a small number of homes at any given time and the down payment money can only be used on NSP homes.
Other down payment assistance programs in Gwinnett County are the FHLB, GA Dream and the Gwinnett Homestretch.
Each program has its advantages and disadvantages as some of the program are grants (do not have to be paid back) while others are just a loan.
FHLB $5,000 down payment assistance program is a grant and is forgiven after 5 years. It can also be used anywhere in GA and is an in house program within the Federal Home Loan Bank and not a government program. What that means to you is it is very easy to qualify for (no 8 hour HUD class required) and is not complicated like some of the government programs.
GA Dream down payment assistance program advantage is it allows for buyer to have a higher income limit and its program ranges from $5,000 to $7,500 for down payment. The $7,500 is for people who serve the public such as police, firemen, military and medical employees to name a few. GA Dream disadvantage is it is not a grant so the money does have to be paid back when the house is refinanced or sold. It is also one of the more difficult programs to get the money as you will have to be very patient as the GA Dream underwriters are very particular to say the least.
Gwinnett Homestretch $7,500 down payment assistance program advantage is the down payment money does not have to be paid back if you remain in the house for 5 years as your primary residence. Some disadvantages is sometimes the program runs out of funds and then you are put on a long waiting list. The buyer also has a lot of requirements as well and has to attend an 8 hour HUD class. This program also requires the home to be in Gwinnett county and the home has a list of requirements to pass as well.
It is easy to apply so please contact us today and we can provide you with more detailed information and help you get started.

Other Down Payment Assistance Programs Available in GeorgiaAn easier program to qualify for and also one that is a much simpler process from start to finish is the FHLB $5,000 down payment assistance program. It is an in house program and not government sponsored. I always recommend this program if you are in their income requirements. The only drawback is this program has lower income limits, but the benefit is that it is so much easier process and the down payment assistance money is forgiven after 5 years unlike GA Dream that has to be paid back when you sell the home or refinance.We have another down payment assistance programs called the Gwinnett Homestretch Program $7,500 Down Payment Assistance program that is forgiven after 5 years. This program has the same income limits as the FHLB program, but is another government program that is puts conditions on the house as well. Many times they run out of money and you are put on a waiting list for the money as well. Must also purchase a home in Gwinnett County. The last program is the NSP Down Payment Assistance Program and this program provides from $14,500 that is forgiven after 5 years or $22,000 down payment assistance that is forgiven after 10 years. Must be first time home buyer and fall within the income requirements. This program has higher income limits, but you must buy their homes. NSP buys foreclosed homes and makes repairs and are in usually excellent shape by the time all the work is done. At that point, they are put on the market to sell. Good program, but they only have a limited amount of homes. See my NSP blog for more details.   It is easy to apply so please contact us today and we can provide you with more detailed information and help you get started.Search all homes in the FMLS and GAMLSMark services the following Northeast Atlanta cities: Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Woodstock, Dunwoody, Suwanee, Buford, Duluth, Dacula, Grayson and Lawrenceville Georgia.About the Author: The above Real Estate information on 2013 GA Dream $5,000 - $7,500 Down Payment Assistance Program For First Time Home Buyers in Georgia was provided by Mark Mitchell.

      <description>2012 FHLB $5,000 Down Payment Assistance Program For First Time Home Buyers
Is buying a new home something you would do now if you had the 3.5% down payment for an FHA Loan, money for home, radon and or pest inspections? Many foreclosure sellers will set a cap on the percentage of the closing costs they will agree to pay for the buyer. Sometimes buyers have a good game plan, but don’t account for some of the costs associated with buying a home.                                                                                              The Federal Home Loan Bank, otherwise known as the FHLB, is not a government program; rather, its members are made up of regional and community banks from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Note, the program can only be used if you live in these areas.
FHLB has updated its down payment assistance program and has reduced the FHLB down payment assistance program amount from $7,500 to $5,000 for 2012. FHLB  provides matching funds, 4:1 for first time home buyers or someone that not owned a home in three years.  Funds can be used for down payment and/or closing costs for low to moderate income home buyers. Each bank, or member, is allocated $1 million dollars to use towards down payment assistance to help low to moderate income level families purchase a own a home. Not all banks offer this program and funds are on a first come first serve basis so when the funds will run out, they are gone.

The buyers is the above video closed in December of 2011 and were able to get $7,500 towards down payment that the FHLB down payment assistance program offered in 2011.Program Highlights:
Buyer’s minimum contribution is $1,000.00
FHLB program will match buyer’s contribution 4-to-1 up to $5,000.00
Funds can be used for down payment, closing costs and or pre-paids
Income limits do apply as income must be at or below 80% of the HUD AMI limits
Program is for first time home buyers or if you have not owned a home in 3 years
Buyer must occupy the home for 5 years, after 5 years the total amount is forgiven
Money is interest free, and every year you remain in the home, 20% of the down payment is forgiven
Only available for primary residence purchase transactions
Earnest money and upfront appraisal fees count toward home buyer contribution
Available for homes listed for resale and new construction
No additional underwriting or extra time to process
