Buying Into Baltimore Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance

Buying Into Baltimore Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance is een kwijtscheldbare lening voor huizenkopers in Baltimore, Maryland. $5,000 down payment / closing cost incentive awarded by lottery (~20 winners per Trolley Tour event, 3x/year). 5-year forgivable second. NO income limit, NOT FTHB-only. Open to any qualified Baltimore City buyer who attends and completes Live Baltimore's Trolley Tour requirements. Administered by Baltimore City DHCD; promoted by Live Baltimore. Buying Into Baltimore is a $5,000 down payment and closing cost incentive structured as a 5-year forgivable loan, awarded by lottery to buyers who attend Live Baltimore's Trolley Tour event (held three times per year - typically a spring, summer/fall, and special event). Approximately 20 homebuyers are randomly selected from the post-event eligible-applicant pool to receive the $5,000 incentive. The loan is administered by Baltimore City Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) and forgiven 20%/year over 5 years of continued owner-occupancy as primary residence. NO household income restriction and NOT limited to first-time homebuyers - making this one of the most broadly accessible Baltimore City incentives. Property must be located within Baltimore City limits. Buyer must contribute at least $1,000 of own funds. Homebuyer counseling certificate from a city-approved agency required (valid 12 months). Pairs with Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) first mortgage and other FHA/VA/USDA/Conventional fixed-rate first mortgages. De financiering komt van Federal CDBG en Local Government.

Buying Into Baltimore Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance wordt na 5 jaar kwijtgescholden, dus een huizenkoper die zo lang blijft, betaalt het niet terug. Terugbetaling wordt in gang gezet door Forgiven 20% per year over 5 years of continuous owner-occupancy. If property is sold, transferred, refinanced (cash-out), or no longer primary residence within 5 years, prorated unforgiven balance becomes due. De hulp wordt ingeschreven met rangorde 2. De voorwaarden voor kwijtschelding en terugbetaling worden door het programma vastgesteld en kunnen veranderen: controleer ze op de officiële pagina van het programma voordat je aanvraagt.
