The Georgia Dream CHOICE option provides enhanced down payment assistance to households where the borrower, co-borrower, or any household member has a documented disability. CHOICE pairs a Georgia Dream first mortgage (FHA/VA/USDA/Conventional) with a 0% interest, deferred-payment second mortgage equal to 6% of the purchase price up to $12,500. The second mortgage is forgiven of nothing - it remains due in full at sale, refinance, payoff, or when the property is no longer the borrower's primary residence. Bond-funded; IRS federal recapture tax may apply.
