​
What is the Home Ready Program? The Home Ready Program is a mortgage option offered by Fannie Mae that is designed to make homeownership more accessible and affordable for low- to moderate-income borrowers. This innovative program provides flexible eligibility criteria, competitive interest rates, and reduced down payment requirements, making it an attractive option for first-time homebuyers and those with limited financial resources.
What You Should Know:
​
Income Limits: While the Home Ready Program offers flexibility in terms of income sources, there are income limits that borrowers must meet to qualify for the program. These limits vary depending on the location of the property and the number of people in the household, so it's important to check the eligibility requirements for your specific situation.
​
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Like most low-down-payment mortgage programs, the Home Ready Program may require borrowers to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) until they reach a certain threshold of equity in their home. However, PMI premiums for Home Ready loans may be lower compared to other mortgage programs, helping borrowers save money on monthly payments.
​
Homeownership Counseling: As part of the Home Ready Program, borrowers are required to complete a homeownership education course to qualify for the loan. This course provides valuable information on topics such as budgeting, credit management, and home maintenance, preparing borrowers for the responsibilities of homeownership.
