What’s up guys, it is Kiersten with the Kline Corbett Group and Dave Fuchs with Traditions Mortgage.
Today we are going to talk about PHFA and exactly what is it Dave? PHFA stands for the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and they have a lot of really good products for first-time homebuyers.
PHFA is helpful because it provides first-time homebuyers with some extra money to use towards down payment and closing costs. It can be tough, you’re first time buying a home to save up money and PHFA has some options that can help you do that.
You have to be a first-time homebuyer for most of their programs. A first-time homebuyer is somebody who has not owned real estate in the last three years. So
If you owned a home in 1995 and you haven’t owned one since then, you would be a first-time homebuyer. And then do you have to pay back that closing assistance that you get? It depends what program you go with. Some of them no, some of them yes.
You do have to have a minimum credit score of a 660 to get down payment funds from them. There’s also income limit and purchase price criteria depending on other factors like household size and some other variables.
So if you guys have any questions, your first-time homebuyer, looking to get some assistance with closing costs and down payment, feel free to reach out to me or Dave.
We’re available anytime. Have a good one guys. Thanks. See ya!
