Loan Programs Make Homeownership Possible for All

If you have modest savings, you may feel like the path to homeownership is out of reach. Not so.  Liberty Bank offers several programs and products that can put you on the path to homeownership.

Low down payment loans

HomeReady Mortgage* is one option.  It features a down payment as low as 3% and lets you gather funds for that down payment from sources like family members and grants.

Both first-time and repeat buyers are eligible, and co-borrowers don’t need to live in the property. The program also includes online guidance that gets you up-to-speed on being a successful homeowner.

Lower borrowing costs

The Downpayment Plus®** Program is another option. For those who qualify, it offers up to $6,000 to use toward down payment and closing costs and provides education to prepare you for the homebuying process.  If you’re able to contribute at least $1,000 to the purchase of a home, you may be eligible for Downpayment Plus®.

We’re committed to helping you become a homeowner.
