Questions about this program
What is Summit Revolving Loan Fund Down Payment Assistance Loan Program?
Summit Revolving Loan Fund Down Payment Assistance Loan Program is a deferred second loan for homebuyers in Frisco, Colorado. The Summit Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) is Summit Combined Housing Authority's flagship down payment assistance product, funded by Summit County voters' 5A sales tax (originally approved in 2006 at 0.125% and increased in 2016 to 0.6%). The RLF provides a 2% interest second mortgage of up to $40,000 (raised from $25,000) with no monthly payments — repaid in full upon sale, refinance, transfer, or loss of owner-occupancy. Available to Summit County workforce buyers between roughly 76% and 160% AMI, with a minimum 620 credit score. Funds may be used for both deed-restricted and free-market purchases and, for deed-restricted owners, HOA dues or unexpected-expense fees. Up to $40,000 from the Summit Revolving Loan Fund as a 2% interest, no-monthly-payment second-mortgage style DPA. Loan principal and interest are due upon sale, refinance, transfer, or loss of owner-occupancy. Funds may be applied to down payment, closing costs, and (for deed-restricted units) HOA assessments and unexpected-expense fees. Funding comes from Local Government (Summit County 5A sales tax).
Do you have to pay it back?
