HomePath Mortgage: Purchase A Foreclosure Or Bank-Owned Home In Phoenix With A Low Down Payment

Purchasing a foreclosure or bank-owned home in Phoenix may, arguably, allow you to buy the best home for the cheapest price.  Many lenders currently require a 20% down payment, however, it is still possible to buy a home in Phoenix with low down payment, even if the home can’t be financed with a FHA home mortgage.    

With HomePath Financing, it is possible to take advantage of today’s low interest rates and affordable home prices in Phoenix, while still benefiting from a reasonable down payment.  You can purchase a home, which is owned by mortgage giant Fannie Mae, for as little as 3% down.  Fannie Mae currently owns many homes taken over through the foreclosure process in Arizona.  These homes can be financed through a new HomePath^® program, specifically for Fannie Mae REO properties.  This program is exclusively offered through David Krushinsky of AmeriFirst Financial, Inc.  Listed below are some of the highlights of the HomePath Mortgage.
