--------------------------------------------
The Home Possible Advantage product replaced the HFA preferred product on all Conventional Step Up Reservations made in AHFA’s Lender Online Portal as of yesterday, January 22.
One of the benefits to the Home Possible Advantage product is that borrowers may be eligible for a grant to help with closing costs, in addition to the down payment assistance mortgage currently offered through Step Up.
Borrowers with qualifying income at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) limits (as published by Freddie Mac) are eligible for an Affordable Income Subsidy (AIS) grant in the amount of $2,500. Borrowers with qualifying income between 50.01% - 80.00% of AMI limits are eligible for a grant of $,1500.
As with Step Up, this assistance can also be combined with a Mortgage Credit Certificate to make buying a home even more affordable.
