The Healthy Neighborhoods Purchase & Rehab Loan is a fixed-rate first mortgage (originated by M&T Bank through HNI's loan pool) for owner-occupants buying and renovating a home on a designated Healthy Neighborhoods target block in Baltimore City. The rate is roughly 1% below prevailing market (floor 3%), no PMI is required, and borrowers may finance up to 110% of the after-rehabilitation appraised value to a maximum loan of $375,000 after contributing 3% of the purchase price plus rehab. It is a 'two-close' construction-to-permanent loan with a maximum 30-year term, and income-eligible borrowers may pair it with the HNI Matching Grant of up to $10,000.
