Default Futures Program?

Does anyone know anything about a federal program called Futures? A buyer's agent mentioned it to me and it sounds a lot like a 105% loan.

Nope, never heard of it. I would be interested to know more information if anyone is aware of what it is though...

It's just like the 105% loan only it's one of the many charitable organizations that put up the money for the buyers downpayment, closing cost etc (a %age of the sale price); at closing that same percentage is due to the buyer; the buyer then makes a contribution to the charitable organization (usually 1% of the sale price) and the buyer is able to use that contribution as a tax deduction.

Question

Do the buyers have to qualify for a certain income bracket? Or is their restrictions on the price of the property?

Here are some answers to FAQs:

How much does a buyer need using Futures? Zero

What can the money be used for? Part or all of any cost required by your lender to qualify for your new home

Are there income limits? No, not to receive the gift. But remember you must meet all requirements of your lending institution

What's the catch? There isn't one. Futures has set aside, and continues to raise, funds to assist in the buyer's requirements of funds needed for purchase. Not only will you not pay a dime for this gift, but there is also no lien or mortgage placed against your propert. We charge the seller, who also benefits from participating in the Futures Program.

How do buyers qualify? Buyers must first qualify for a home loan through a mortgage professional. The only difference is that we are going to provide you with the down payment.

How do I get the money?

After you qualify for the loan, your lender will request the funds. If your lender has any questions, have them contact us.
