Good day to you! I wanted to pass along some exciting news that has become available to us since our joining the Summit Mortgage Team. We now have access to a special bond program that is available through the state for first time home buyers. Now don’t get distraught if you are not a first time buyer. If you buy in a target area you can qualify also. Read below for more information or visit www.denvergov.com to read more through their homeowner programs. After reading, give me a call if you would like to get pre-approved for this program.~ Ray
The following is from www.denvergov.com
“Have you dreamed of owning a home but didn’t think you could qualify for a mortgage? The City and County of Denver and the Metro Mayors Caucus announce the Metro Mortgage Assistance program! The City and County of Denver, along with over 20 other front-range cities, is offering a special mortgage assistance program for first-time home buyers with qualifying incomes. The first-time homebuyer requirement is waived if homes purchased are in Target Areas.
Homes may be purchased in the following cities:

(For eligible homebuyers, additional down payment assistance might be available outside of the Metro Mortgage Assistance Program. Homebuyers with household incomes at or below 80% of the area median income for the metropolitan Denver area may be eligible for additional down payment and closing costs up to 6% of the purchase price or $10,000, whichever is higher. Call Ray at 303-779-0591 to see if you qualify.)
Cost to Buyer
At mortgage loan closing, the lender will collect only a 1.00% origination fee and no discount points from the borrower or seller.
Target Areas
To lookup whether a property is located within a Target Area, DenverMaps offers a Real Property report. Simply enter the address, and check “Metro Mortgage Areas” under “Optional Map Layers.””
