The Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) have launched a new program to make homeownership a reality through its IdaMortgage program. The new Affordable Advantage Loan offers a down payment as low as $1,000, and has no mortgage insurance requirement, saving qualified borrowers money on the mortgage payment every month.
"This IHFA exclusive financing option is a great tool for homebuyers as the housing market in Idaho continues its recovery," said Gerald Hunter, IHFA president and executive director. "It offers another affordable lending option for low- to moderate-income homebuyers across the state."
Features of the Affordable Advantage Loan include:
- As little as $1,000 needed from borrower to close
- A low-cost, 30-year fixed interest rate
- No mortgage insurance required, reducing a borrower's monthly payment
- Financing to first-time homebuyers (including those who have not owned a home in the past three years) with good credit histories, requires a 680
- Income limits apply
- Loans are serviced in Idaho by IHFA
