Turn the Key

Turn the Key es una segunda hipoteca para compradores de vivienda en Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a cargo de Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation (PHDC). Turn the Key is a PHDC program under Mayor Parker's H.O.M.E. Initiative that builds new homes on formerly city-owned vacant land and sells them to income-eligible first-time homebuyers at below-market prices. Eligible buyers can receive up to $75,000 in mortgage buydown assistance — secured by a 20-year forgivable note recorded against the property — plus up to $10,000 from the Philly First Home grant for down payment and settlement costs. Buyers must earn no more than 100% of AMI, finance through an approved Turn the Key lender, and complete City-funded one-on-one homeownership counseling before signing an Agreement of Sale. Resale is restricted to other income-qualified buyers; the Philadelphia Land Bank recalculates the price on a sale within 15 years. After year 20, once the soft mortgage is satisfied, the home may be sold at full value. Up to $75,000 mortgage buydown assistance. Up to $10,000 Philly First Home grant toward down payment and settlement costs. Below-market price on a newly constructed home. Buydown is a 20-year forgivable note — fully forgiven if you stay. Los fondos provienen de City of Philadelphia — vacant city-owned land conveyed via the Philadelphia Land Bank, with PHDC-administered mortgage buydown subsidy; part of Mayor Cherelle L. Parker's Housing Opportunities Made Easy (H.O.M.E.) Initiative.

Turn the Key ofrece hasta $75,000 de ayuda. Aporte del comprador de vivienda: Buyers should expect to bring roughly $3,000–$5,000 toward down payment, closing costs and other related home-buying expenses. El programa se puede combinar con Philly First Home $10,000 grant (bundled with Turn the Key for closing costs). Los montos son los máximos publicados por el programa, no una oferta: Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation (PHDC) determina cualquier ayuda individual.

Turn the Key se perdona después de 20 años, así que un comprador de vivienda que se quede ese tiempo no lo devuelve. El reembolso se activa por Sale, transfer, refinance, or loss of owner-occupancy before the 20-year forgivable note is satisfied; the unforgiven portion becomes due. La ayuda se registra con un gravamen en posición Second. Los términos de condonación y reembolso los fija el programa y pueden cambiar; confírmalos en la página oficial del programa antes de presentar la solicitud.

Turn the Key está abierto a compradores de vivienda por primera vez y compradores de vivienda que vivirán en la vivienda como su residencia principal. “Primera vez” tiene excepciones aquí: First-time buyer defined as a person who has never owned a home or who has not owned a home for three years prior to applying. Sobre el crédito, el programa indica: PHDC cites a credit score of around 640, and notes loan products may be available with a somewhat lower score. The first-mortgage lender sets the actual minimum. Se requiere un curso de educación para compradores de vivienda, a través de PHDC-approved one-on-one homeownership counseling agencies (required before signing an Agreement of Sale). Must purchase an eligible newly constructed Turn the Key home, be a first-time buyer (never owned, or no ownership in the three years before applying) at or below 100% AMI, and complete City-funded one-on-one homeownership counseling BEFORE signing the Agreement of Sale. Counseling completed within the prior 12 months at a City-funded agency may be credited, but the buyer must still review the TTK-specific segment covering the soft mortgage / mortgage buydown / non-serviceable loan. Financing must go through an approved Turn the Key lender. Apply by submitting the online interest form and creating an account at https://phdc.my.site.com/TTKResidentPrograms — applying does NOT guarantee a home and does NOT place the buyer on a waiting list; PHDC screens for prequalification and contacts buyers when inventory opens in a neighborhood they selected. Documentation requested: income and ID for every household member 18+, two months of paystubs, two years of tax returns, photo ID; income certification, counseling certificate and mortgage approval are all required before a developer sales team engages. Homes carry a 10-year residential tax abatement; owners are not eligible for the Homestead exemption until that abatement expires. TTK program line: 215-448-2160 (PHDC main: 215-448-3000).

Turn the Key limita el ingreso del hogar al 100% del ingreso mediano del área, que varía según el condado y el tamaño del hogar. Household income may be no higher than 100% of Area Median Income for the household size, using gross income for all family members who will live in the home. Maximum annual household income: 1 — $85,900; 2 — $98,200; 3 — $110,500; 4 — $122,700; 5 — $132,600; 6 — $142,400; 7 — $152,200; 8 — $162,000; add $9,800 for each additional person (no maximum household size). The $122,700 stored in income_limit_amount is the 4-person figure. Note: the PHDC FAQ page still shows an older 1-person figure of $73,780 from a prior AMI year — the table above (100% AMI, same schedule used for Philly First Home) is current. El límite se aplica al ingreso total del hogar, no solo al del prestatario. Las cifras del ingreso mediano del área las publica HUD y se actualizan cada año, así que consulta la tabla vigente del condado antes de basarte en una cifra.

Turn the Key se puede usar para Single Family. La construcción nueva es elegible.
