HUD Launches HUD $100 Down Payment For Home Buyers

Housing and Urban Development have recently created a specialty FHA mortgage.

  • This product only requires a $100 down payment and is designed to remove barriers for homeownership
  • It makes it easier to purchase HUD-owned homes

A HUD owned home means, a one to four-unit property currently owned by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, acquired through foreclosures.

Buying HUD Foreclosed Homes With HUD $100 Down Payment

If the previous owner had the property financed with an FHA-insured home loan, the foreclosure proceedings transfer ownership to Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

  • Anybody can purchase these properties, including investors
  • Priority is given to those who live in the property as a primary residence
  • When the home first becomes available there is a time where only owner-occupant home buyers can bid on the listing

You may only utilize the $100 down payment mortgage program if you plan to utilize this as your primary residence.

HUD $100 Down Payment Loan Program Is For Primary Residence Buyers Only

Strict occupancy requirements must be met.

  • Meaning if you are an investor, you will not be able to utilize the $100 down payment program
  • The $100 down payment may only be used to purchase a HUD-owned property
  • Typically, you need 3.5% as a down payment
  • However, the $100 down payment option opens up homeownership opportunities for many consumers who might not otherwise be able to afford the property
  • This program is put in place to protect communities
  • Vacant and abandoned properties tend to have a negative impact on a neighborhood, potentially lowering property values

These $100 down payment homes are meant to sell quickly. 

Eligibility Requirements On HUD $100 Down Payment Mortgage Program

A few basics of the $100 down payment FHA mortgage:

  • May only be utilized to purchase a home, no refinance options available
  • Loan terms are available in 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages
  • There are also 5/1 hybrid arm options available
  • Check with your licensed loan officer to compare the fixed-rate pricing compared to the ADJUSTABLE-RATE option
  • Eligible property types include one to two-unit homes, manufactured homes, condos, and PUDs (Planned Urban Developments)

Benefits Of FHA Loans And The DPA HUD Program

Benefits of the $100 down payment program:

  • Low out-of-pocket expenses
  • FHA mortgages, in general, have low out-of-pocket expenses as they only require a 3.5% down payment, this program has an even lower out-of-pocket expense
  • This is because it only requires a $100 down payment
  • Lowering the upfront costs means buyers DO NOT have to have large amounts of capital to qualify for the purchase
  • You are still required to meet income qualifications and pass the ability-to-repay qualifications
  • The ability to combine the $100 down payment with an FHA 203(k) mortgage
  • That’s right, you can combine this program to complete necessary repairs
  • It is common for foreclosed properties to be in need of repair
  • This option allows you to finance both the purchase price and the cost of the repairs, updates, or renovations into one mortgage loan
