Individuals, whether they are seasoned property owners or prospective first-time home buyers, may qualify for down payment assistance programs offered through the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority (MFA). These initiatives aim to facilitate the home buying process by extending grants to assist with down payments and cover closing costs. In certain scenarios, home buyers may find themselves at closing with minimal or no out-of-pocket expenses, or even receive funds back.
To be eligible, applicants must meet certain criteria:
FirstHome and FirstDown: This mortgage loan targets individuals or families who haven’t owned a home in the past three years. It can be utilized alongside MFA’s down payment assistance program, FirstDown, or utilized independently as a first mortgage.
FirstDown Plus: Designed as a third mortgage down payment assistance loan, this program aims to supplement down payments for first-time homebuyers who qualify for MFA’s FirstHome program. Previous homeowners who haven’t occupied a home as their primary residence in the past three years may also qualify. FirstDown Plus must always be used alongside MFA’s FirstHome (first mortgage) and FirstDown (second mortgage) programs.
HomeNow: This program offers a down payment and closing cost second mortgage loan for first-time homebuyers with lower household incomes. The loan carries a 0 percent interest rate and may be forgiven after 10 years, subject to meeting specific conditions.
HomeForward: Targeting individuals or families who have owned a home in the past three years or those who don’t qualify for MFA’s FirstHome loan program, HomeForward can be utilized alongside MFA’s down payment assistance program or as a standalone first mortgage.
