chfa can help you! Ideas, tools, and resources.
convince your real estate partners chfa is a viable option in metro markets show them the money! (with chfa data) chfa is fast-one day turn time no delay getting to closing chfa can be a tool to get sellers motivated chfa allows borrowers to own one other residential property seller afraid to list in case they can t find a new home? seller needs the equity in existing for down payment on new home? use CHFA with DPA to buy the new home (FHA, VA, RD)* borrower already has an FHA loan on existing? You can refinance that property into a conventional loan (additional transaction for you) then sell existing, or keep it as income property *non available with chfa conventional products
convince your real estate partners chfa might save the deal if your borrower gets involved in a multiple offer situation price gets bid up, and appraisal comes in below offered price borrower now has to use own funds (intended for down payment) to pay the difference between appraised value and agreed upon purchase price List price $250,000 Winning offer $261,000 Appraisal $252,000 Borrower s funds $12,000 (intended for down payment and costs) Borrower now must use $9,000 of own funds to pay difference between appraised value and agreed upon purchase price; use CHFA for DPA (up to 3% of loan amount) and up to 2% for costs. Go to closing on time!
convince your real estate partners real estate agents still not warming up to fha offers? chfa has conventional products chfa has a conventional product with no MI! this product might give your borrower the lowest payment option with the lowest down payment requirement borrower must have 3% down payment (own funds, gift, DPA from outside chfa) competitive rates due to no loan level pricing adjustments chfa has conventional products with DPA and reduced MI this product is available with or without, chfa dpa without chfa dpa, our rates are at or below market pmi coverage is 18% at 97% ltv Compare to 35% for standard, and 25% for HomeReady
create new real estate partners chfa loves condos and attached PUD s attached product represented 25% of our 2015 production our conventional products have no loan level pricing adjustments find listings for condos that indicate no FHA financing conventional condo guidelines have no occupancy requirement when subject property will be owner occupied no llpa s mean no condo adjustment to rate chfa s conventional product offers DPA, have reduced MI (lower than standard, lower than HomeReady) you could earn referrals from the listing real estate agent by sharing this knowledge
create new real estate partners chfa will accept loans secured by properties which are restricted by affordable covenants and/or deed restrictions lender must review covenants and/or deed restriction to ensure they meet with insurer / guarantor guidelines a successful (and efficient) strategy might be to specialize in a particular affordable development creating this niche, could earn you the reputation of being able to get these types of properties closed, and a reason to contact real estate agents to let them know you can get them to the closing table
educate your real estate partners chfa offers continuing education to real estate professionals at no charge you can sponsor / organize a chfa continuing eduation class chfa teaches the class you find the location, and do the marketing you benefit by offering value and knowledge to the agents
convince yourselves and your buyers chfa continues to cut the red tape chfa now uses the lenders underwriting qualifying income! only the borrower s qualifying income (as calculated by the underwriter) will be used to determine if this loan meets CHFA s income limits chfa does not include income from occupants who are nonborrowers however, all occupants count towards the household, Count, when determining the chfa income limit; for example: income limit in metro Denver for 1-2 person household = $79,900 Income limit in metro Denver for 3+ person household = $91,800 chfa s down payment assistance is now a grant the grant is treated as a gift-no waiting period in order for the grant to be forgiven however, there is an EPO (early pay-off penalty) charged to lenders when the loan is refinanced prior to 6 payments being made to chfa
Top 10 reasons to consider chfa 10. no asset restriction 9. affordable covenants and deed restrictions allowed 8. chfa loves condos 7. more resources on our website-all new pre-recorded trainings 6. fewer training requirements for our lenders (but added resources to help lenders)
Top 10 reasons to consider chfa 5. no loan level pricing adjustments on conventional loans, and reduced MI 4. DPA is a grant 3. one day turn time 2. qualifying income used to determine chfa eligibility 1. we re in COLORADO!
