FanneMae Home Ready Mortgage

The Fannie Mae HomeReady Mortgage is designed to help creditworthy borrowers with lower to moderate incomes obtain an affordable mortgage with reduced closing costs. Income from a non-borrower household member may be used for qualification. Another feature of this program is that co-borrowers are not required to live in the home, so a relative or other individual may assist with the home purchase.

Highlights

  • Lower mortgage insurance requirements
  • No minimum borrower contribution (1 unit properties only)
  • Extended household income can be used for qualification
  • Not limited to first-time home buyers (borrower cannot own other real estate at the time of closing)

  • Gifts, grants, and cash-on-hand permitted as a source of down payment and closing costs (1 unit properties only)
