HomeReady Mortgage

HomeReady is a Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) program for low-income borrowers. It offers low rates, low financing costs, and reduced mortgage insurance costs. It allows a down payment as low as 3% (whereas normally it is 20%). HomeReady mortgages can be used to buy a primary residence or refinance an existing mortgage. It also offers a limited cash-out refinance option too.
