Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, a full-service mortgage banker and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Long & Foster Companies, has introduced a new program, HomeBuyer Boost, to help responsible, creditworthy buyers achieve the goal of homeownership.

Earlier this year, the company offered a program in which its clients qualified for $2.5 million in down payment or closing assistance. The new HomeBuyer Boost program sets aside up to an additional $1 million in closing cost assistance for qualified low- to moderate-income borrowers. HomeBuyer Boost is a conventional loan that has flexible terms with an additional boost.

The program offers the following to qualified borrowers:

  • Low down payment available. Up to 97 percent financing for purchase of a primary residence (one-unit properties).
  • Flexible sources of funds can be used for the down payment and closing costs with no minimum contribution required from the borrower’s own funds (1-unit properties).
  • Income from all borrowers on the loan must be used to qualify. Income may not exceed 100 percent of the HUD area median income for the property’s location.1
  • Extended-income household may allow non-borrower income to be considered toward the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio when qualifying the borrower for the mortgage.2
  • Reduced mortgage insurance coverage requirements for loans with loan-to-values (LTV) greater than 90 percent, up to 97 percent.
  • Homeownership education helps buyers get ready to buy a home and be prepared for the responsibilities of homeownership. The required training offers an easy-to-use, online course provided by Framework.

The additional Boost includes:

  • $1,000 program credit toward closing costs for clients who are at or below 80 percent of the area median income limit.3
  • $500 program credit to borrowers who get one-on-one homeownership education through a HUD-approved counseling agency prior to signing a purchase contract.4
  • Job loss protection for two years for eligible borrowers through MortgageAssureSM. This unemployment insurance can help cover up to six monthly mortgage payments in the event of an involuntary, unexpected job loss, to help borrowers avoid falling behind or defaulting on their mortgage.5

“For individuals and families who are ready to buy a home, our HomeBuyer Boost program offers incentives that may help them get the house they want,” said Tim Wilson, CEO of Prosperity Home Mortgage. “By taking part in the approved homeownership education program, they can receive an additional incentive and gain a better understanding of the responsibilities of homeownership.”

Those interested in learning more about the HomeBuyer Boost program can reach out to a Prosperity mortgage consultant. Prosperity Home Mortgage offers a wide range of mortgage products, including fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. It is represented by more than 150 mortgage consultants and operates its own in-house processing, underwriting and closing at its five operation centers across the East Coast, from Georgia to New Jersey.
