The last issue of the year is now available. This is a State Bond Issue which means it can be used in any of the 64 parishes. The bond will allow you to buy a home at a reduced interest rate and will give you 4% of the sales price to use towards your closing cost/down payment. Most of my bond buyers chose the FHA (3% down payment) or the Rural Developement (no down payment) and the 4% assistance covers most of the closing cost and prepaid items. Typically my buyers do not bring any money to the closing table!
Below is a brief breakdown of the criteria for the State bond:
1. FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER RULE IS WAIVED!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER!
2. HOME MOST BE LOCATED IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
2. INCOME LIMITS: FAMILY OF 2 OR LESS: $67,400 FAMILY OF 3 OR MORE:$78,680
3. MAXIMUM SALE PRICE: $289,704
4. THE COBORROWERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE RELATED, 2 UNMARRIED BUYERS ARE ELIGABLE
5. THERE IS NO ORIGINATION FEE
6. THE INTREST RATES ARE: 6.625% FOR 30 YEARS FOR THE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, 6% FOR 30 YEARS FOR THE LOW RATE PROGRAM
7. FHA, VA, RD AND CONVENTIONAL LOANS ARE THE LOAN TYPES
