In the spirit of freedom this July, the following are a few financing options, requiring little (or no) money down as well as one that sidesteps captial gains:
House Key Plus - House Key is a program provided by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. The commission's purpose is to help low-to-moderate income individuals and households achive homeownership. This is especially challenging in the expensive Greater Seattle market. However, House Key Plus provides between $10,000-$45,000 in downpayment assistance for qualified borrowers. Income limitations apply. For more information, visit www.wshfc.org
Key Community Program - This is another 100%/zero down 30-year-fixed mortgage loan offered by Key Bank with no private mortgage insurance (PMI). The property must be located in a low to moderate income census tract and the borrower's income must be lower than $68,480 in King & Snohomis Counties. For more information, visit www.keybank.com
BECU Home Loan Payment Relief (HLPR) - If you have 3.0% to put down and make no more than $81,000 annually (in King, Pierce or Snohomish Counties) this 30-year-fixed mortgage may be a good option for you. There's no PMI. For more information, visit www.becu.org
Self-Directed Retirement Plan Non-Recourse Loan - If you have 50% down payment tied up in a self-directed IRA, you can get a non-recourse mortgage for any type of property anywhere in the world. Down the road when you resell the property, you can avoid capital gains. For more information, visit www.paccrest.com
