New Homeownership Options: HomeReady

Today's first-time homebuyers are facing unique financial situations that can make homeownership a challenge. For some, large down payments or student debt makes qualifying seem overwhelming. Others rely on non-traditional income sources such as parents, extended family members or rental properties to qualify. Pacific Residential Mortgage's (PRM) HomeReady loan product can help overcome those challenges and make homeownership a reality. HomeReady will help creditworthy, low to moderate-income borrowers acquire financing by enhancing the profile of acceptable income sources. In addition, borrowers purchasing in low-income Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) enjoy even unrestricted income limits.

HomeReady Features:

• Low down payment - first-time and repeat homebuyers can purchase a home with a down payment as low as 3%
• Permits "income pooling" for all members of the household - in multigenerational households, the income of parents, grandparents and other extended family members may help buyers qualify
• Co-borrower flexibility - Not all borrowers are required to reside in the property
• We accept additional income sources - we allow rental income as additional income
• Conventional home financing with cancellable monthly MI - reduced MI coverage requirement above 80% LTV
• Homeownership education (Framework) - helps borrowers prepare to buy a home and understand the responsibilities of homeownership
