Who this program may fit

This option often works well for:

  • first-time buyers
  • households working with flexible income rules
  • borrowers focused on affordability
  • buyers comparing 3% down options

Fit still depends on the property, documentation, reserves, and what you want the loan to do after closing. A good program on paper can still be the wrong move if it works against the bigger plan.
