Georgia Dream Rewards $7,500 for down payment and closing costs

Down payment assistance from the State of Georgia

Yes, you read it correctly. We can get you up to $7,500 to be used for down payment and closing costs on homes with sales prices over $150,000 in Georgia. Under that and you can get up to $5,000. Unlike other down payment programs the buyer does not need to be a first time home buyer. If you search the Georgia Dream lenders on Georgia DCA you will see my team members make up 6 of the top loan officers and 3 of the top 4. We understand Georgia Dream!

As a reward for higher credit scores and to encourage savings, eligible borrowers will:

1) Have a total annual household income that does not exceed the Georgia Dream First Mortgage Loan Financing Limits below

2) May retain cash assets up to the greater of $20,000 or 20% of the purchase price

3) Contribute a minimum of $1,000 of borrower funds to the purchase transaction.

$5,000 if sales price is $150,000 or less

$7,500 if sales price is greater than $150,000

If the home is located in one of the following Georgia counties:

Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, Dekalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Jasper, Lamar, Meriwether, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Pike, Rockdale, Spalding or Walton Counties

Your total household income based on the number of persons living in the home can be no more than:

One to Two persons $71,000

Three or more persons $82,000

Buyers must have middle credit scores of 660 or higher. Buyers must contribute $1000 of their own funds.
