Conventional Plus Program
SONYMA's Conventional Plus Program is a mortgage program that combines 30-year fixed rate mortgages with SONYMA down payment assistance for both first-time homebuyers and previous homeowners. The program may be used for the purchase of a primary home. The down payment assistance may also be used to pay closing costs (including an upfront single mortgage insurance premium, if necessary, and thus eliminating the monthly mortgage insurance premium payment). With all these combined features including flexible underwriting guidelines, Conventional Plus offers a lower monthly payment than most mortgages.
Income Limits apply. Income must be < 80% of Area Median Income.
You must run the property address through the FNMA HomeReady Eligibility Tool to determine the income limit.
FHA Plus Program
SONYMA's FHA Plus Program is a mortgage program that combines 30-year fixed rate mortgages with SONYMA down payment assistance for both first-time homebuyers and previous homeowners. The program may be used for the purchase of a primary home. The down payment assistance may also be used to pay closing costs.
