The 1% down program provides eligible homebuyers the option to put just 1% down and have our lending partner, UWM, cover an additional 2% up to $7,000, for a total of 3% down. This down payment assistance program is an incredible way to make your dreams of homeownership happen sooner, while saving money you could use for furniture, move-in costs, or other expenses.

Guidelines:

  • Product is for borrowers who have an income at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
  • Purchase only
  • Must have 97% loan-to-value; UWM pays the lesser of 2% or up to $7,000 of the total 3% down payment.  
  • 620+ FICO
  • A total of 3% down payment is required.  Borrower brings in as low as 1%  down payment, and UWM pays the lesser of 2% or up to $7000.  If the $7000 max does not equal 2% of the down payment, the borrower will be required to bring in the difference for a full 3% down payment.  
  • Up to conforming loan limits
  • LPA or DU for eligibility
  • Follows Home Possible® and HomeReady® guidelines.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to overcome the most common obstacle to home ownership: the down payment.
