Condo conversions are taking place all over DC, however these are geared toward low-to-moderate income households. These are modern condos with open floor plan and beautifully layed out units ready for new owners.   A non-profit organization, with the support of the local governement, has created an opportunity to assist low - moderate income household with downpayment assistance.  Their goal is to make housing permanently affordable by avoiding rising home prices through shared appreciation.

Benefits of the program:

  • Lowers monthly mortgage payments
  • Reduces out-of-pocket expenses
  • Eliminate private mortgage insurance fees
  • Possibility of owning a home for similar cost of renting
  • Predictable housing costs
  • Each monthly payment builds long-term wealth
  • Enjoy tax-deductible interest payments and other homebuyers tax credit

 

Sharing Appreciation to Support the Community:

If you buy their home and then choose to sell, you will receive 100% of pricipal payments and down payment, the value of any improvements to the home and 25% of market appreciation.

Income requirement:  Maximum income approx. $124,200 for family of 4. This is adjustable based on household size.
