MHDC which stands for Missouri Housing Development Commission, has made some modifications to all loans reserved on March 2, 2015. MHDC has been a great option for first-time homebuyers for down-payment assistance and helps with some of the closing costs.
Prior to the new changes, the MHDC down-payment assistance program was offering 3.5% as CAL (Cash Assistance Loan). Below are some of the highlights of the MHDC down payment assistance program along with the new changes.
- MHDC offers up to 4.5% towards down-payment and closing costs for first-time homebuyers.
- MDHC has a limitation on income per household. This limit ensures that the assistance reaches those who need it most, typically lower-income individuals and families.
- There are maximum loan amounts per county. This ensures that the loan limits align with the average housing costs in each specific area.
- Homebuyers don’t have to be a first-time home buyer if buying in a targeted area or a qualified veteran.
- MHDC loans rates are set and only changed by MHDC itself.
- MHDC doesn’t have any restrictions for being inside or outside city limits. (This is a great alternative for USDA loans)
