Our nonprofit, Home Ownership Mortgage Education (HOME)
is excited by the new opportunity to work with private
lenders in providing down-payment and rehab grants for
investors and home ownership.
Nonprofits, over the last 20 years, have assisted
thousands of home buyers with down-payment grants. Today,
those grants, combined with conventional lending, are no
longer available to home buyers due to government
limitations. The private lenders has no such limitation.
The new private lending arena is growing rapidly and has
opened up a huge need for the nonprofits to provide grants
for down-payment and rehab. These loans, many times, carry
a higher interest rate than conventional loans and provide
funds for closing when conventional lenders can not.
HOME creates the funds for these grants by buying
distressed properties from sellers and reselling to
investors and home buyers for their market value. The
difference between what HOME nets on those two
transactions, provides the funds for the grants.
