Coming to YOUR neighborhood ...


LINK

HomeReady™ is a mortgage program created in December 2015. It's backed by the U.S. government via Fannie Mae and available via most U.S. lenders.

HomeReady™ allows a downpayment of just 3% on a home and permits the "income pooling" for all of the members of a household. This means that income from grandparents, parents, relatives, and working children can all be used to help qualify for a home loan.

From the Q and A

For the HomeReady™ mortgage program, do my co-habitants have to be legal residents of the United States?

No, via the HomeReady™ home loan program, non-borrowing relatives do not need to be legal residents of the United States of America.

If I use the income of somebody living in my house to help qualify for the HomeReady™ loan, does that person need to be on the mortgage application?

No, you do not need to include other people on your HomeReady™ mortgage application -- even if their income is used to help you qualify.

In order to use another person's income on your application, you will only need to show that person's proof of income and a signed statement indicating their intent to live with you for a period of at least 12 months.

So the income that is being used to justify the mortgage payment will NOT be available to pursue upon inevitable default?

Sounds profitable - for someone.

I don't have a credit score. Can I still use the HomeReady™ program?

Yes, you can still use the HomeReady™ if your credit score is non-existent. The program allows the use of non-traditional tradelines to establish credit history, including utility bills, gym membership, and most other accounts which require monthly payment.

This is the moment. America has truly jumped the shark.

It is very easy to see where this is going. If the buyers are illegal aliens and get sent back, we the taxpayers pickup the bill.

3% of $250K is $7500 dollars.

You're going to have people putting down $7500 on a $250,000 house.

These people are ALL going to default! I mean is that part of the plan?
