Applicants must have had no homeownership interest in a principal residence during the past 3 years OR be a displaced homemaker or single parent who has only owned a home with a former spouse while married. The program is open to households with an annual household income up to 80% of the Area Median Income.

Landed

Landed’s down payment program is designed to help essential professionals reach at least a 20% down payment. With the goal to help essential professionals avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Landed can contribute up to 15% of the purchase price (up to $120,000) into your down payment, and asks homebuyers to contribute at least 5% (depends by region).

When you buy a home with the down payment program, you have up to 30 years to choose when to end the partnership with Landed. At the time that you end the partnership, you pay Landed the initial investment they put into your down payment, plus a portion of the home’s change in value. Essential professionals who choose to use Landed’s down payment program don’t need to pay Landed anything during the 30-year term unless they decide to sell their home or buy out Landed. More information is available on Landed.com.
