2. How do you know what program you want?
Do you want to work with an FHA or Conventional loan? Do you want a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd or just a 1st and 2nd? Is your borrower a FTHB or not?
You have 10 product options, but they all surround these 3 basic descriptions!
CalHFA 1st (Conventional or FHA) and a 3% My Home Assistance 2nd ; loan based on 3% of sales price or appraised value, whichever is less; FTHB always required when using My Home Assistance.
Cal Plus 1st (Conventional or FHA) and a ZIP 2nd (2nd loan amount based on % of 1st loan amount – FTHB not required when using ZIP only.
Cal Plus 1st (Conventional or FHA) with a My Home Assistance 2nd and ZIP 3rd ; FTHB require because you are adding this with a My Home.
NOTE: THE ZIP and My Home can only be used for down payment and/or closing cost assistance. This is not to be used to pay the difference in sales price and appraised value if the sale price is higher. It also can not be used for paying off borrower debt.
