Neighborhood Advantage Credit Flex
Low Down
Become a homeowner-even with no credit history and limited savings
No two homebuyers are exactly alike. That's why Bank of America
Mortgage offers the Neighborhood Advantage Credit Flex home loan.
Most conventional mortgage loans require an extensive credit history
and sizable savings. But Credit Flex combines flexible credit
guidelines with a low 3% down payment to put home
ownership within easier reach than ever. Plus, most of your down
payment and closing costs can come from a gift from family
members, friends or even an approved down payment assistance
program. Whether you're a first time homebuyer or are a
homeowner refinancing an existing mortgage, Neighborhood
Advantage Credit Flex can make it easier for you to qualify for a home loan.
Here's how:
No established credit required-as little as a favorable
12-month rental history is all you need
An affordable 3% down payment-only 1%
needs to be
from your own funds
($500 in Los Angeles County, Arizona,
New Mexico and Nevada);
the rest can come from a gift or other sources
Little or no cash upfront-100% of your
closing costs can
come from a gift or other sources.
Less income required-makes it easier to
qualify than
conventional loans
Fixed rate financing for 1-and 2-family homes-enjoy
the
security of knowing what your monthly payments will be for
the life of the loan
Automatic payments-take advantage of the
convenience
of having your monthly payments deducted directly from
your checking, savings, or money market account
Even if you're already a homeowner, Credit Flex can help lower
your monthly payments and increase your cash flow by refinancing
the existing balance up to 97% of the appraised value of your home.
