good chance of assistance through CHFA?

You can try contacting CHFA directly and ask for a list of approved lenders.. this will save you a lot of time.. But according to their website, they have been out of funds since late October.. FHA requires 3% down, and conventional financing requires 5%.. There might be other programs out there that can help, so try reaching out to a local mortgage broker.. they should be familiar with any local down payment assistance programs.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

We can certainly do CHFA as well as other down payment assistance programs. We have approval with other companies that may be a better option for you. I woudl love to chat with you about your options. Some of these programs require no money down. Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks and have a great day!

We can do a CHFA loan and with 3% down you may want to see if you can qualify for the CHFA Advantage program that is 3% down with no mortgage insurance. Great program. If you are looking for down payment assistance you can also look at the 5% NHF grant that actually gives you 5% towards your 3.5% FHA down payment and a portion of your closing costs.

CHFA is only out of MCC, Mortgage Credit Certificate funds. They still do the $1,000 SmartStep Plus and the 3% down CHFA Advantage with no mortgage insurance. The NHF Platinum is a 5% grant that is given to you and the 5% covers the entire 3.5% down payment and anything left over goes towards closing costs. If you would like some more information on any of these programs I will be available at 303-521-7169 or syoung@firstcal.net / Sean

Just to clarify, CHFA and NHF are two separate programs and can't be used together. The CHFA SmartStep Plus is a FHA loan and the CHFA Advantage is a conventional loan. The NHF Platinum is an FHA program. We offer both options.
