Announcement: Interest Rate Reduction <\/strong><\/p>\n

Effective Monday, November 13, 2023, we are reducing the interest on all repayable second mortgages. For all loans locked on or after Monday, November 13, 2023, the interest rate on repayable second loans will have a rate matching the interest rate of the FHA first mortgage loan.<\/p>\n

5.2.1 Chenoa Fund Down Payment Assistance<\/u><\/p>\n

This second mortgage product is paired with an FHA first mortgage. The product offers 3.5% or 5% down payment assistance to borrowers with an annual income of 135% or less of the AMI for the county or MSA in which they are purchasing a home. (An option is available to higher income borrowers that has no income limits.)\u00a0 All FHA guidelines must be met, as well as Chenoa Fund overlays. This product can be repayable or forgivable.\u00a0 Repayable down payment second loans have a 10-year term with an interest rate matching the interest rate on the first mortgage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
