- Bridge to Home permits qualification using income or assets excluding equity in the subject property, with foreign-national and non-permanent resident eligibility.
- Bridge to Home states no minimum credit score if current bill-payment history is as agreed.
What to consider
- Programs are limited to selected counties in CA, GA, MA, NV, NY, TX and WA.
- LTV and loan limits vary by program; Bridge to Home maximum loan is $3,000,000 at 60% LTV. Do not treat LTV as a published down-payment minimum.
- Low-down-payment program requires full income/assets documentation, owner occupancy and income no more than 80% of area median income; displayed limits require confirmation.
