Down payment assistance for qualifying borrowers with a minimum credit score requirement of 600.
CBC Mortgage Agency follows industry standards (middle of three, lower of two) for determining which credit score to use for all Chenoa Fund™ credit score requirements. The minimum accepted credit score is 600. Use the lowest middle credit score on the loan.
The down payment assistance program remains funded all year long.
Chenoa Fund down payment assistance is not a bond program. CBC Mortgage Agency does not run out of funds for its program.
Multiple second mortgage options to attract a range of borrowers.
A forgivable option and a repayable option is available for the down payment assistance.
Do not have to be a first-time homebuyer.
Being designated as a first-time homebuyer is not part of the eligibility criteria for the Chenoa Fund Down Payment Assistance Program.
Straightforward program guidelines no matter what state your clients are in.
Chenoa Fund down payment assistance is available in all states (except New York) and its guidelines do not change based on which state the borrower resides.
No income restrictions.
The Chenoa Fund down payment assistance program does not have income limits. However, in order to receive the best rates, borrowers must have a qualifying income less than or equal to 135% of the area median income based on the state and county of the property to be purchased.
