Offers special rates and assistance for qualified borrowers
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Many people need a helping hand when buying a first home, and with Regions
Bank's (NYSE:RF) new First Time Home Buyers Program, there is help
for qualified borrowers.
The Regions First Time Home Buyers Program is designed to help borrowers
overcome some of the obstacles that can make buying a first home
difficult. The program offers a fixed rate mortgage with no closing
costs to the borrower (excepting pre-paid items). Closing costs are paid
by Regions and not rolled into the loan amount.
"We think this program is ideal for so many first time home buyers. Many
times, first time home buyers have limited funds available for closing,
and this program can help free up more of their funds for down payments,
savings or emergencies," according to Logan Pichel, Head of Regions
Consumer Lending.
In addition to the attractive terms of the program, the First Time Home
Buyers Program also features a required home buyer counseling program -
similar to many HUD or other government-guaranteed loans - provided to
help borrowers understand budgeting and other necessities once they
become homeowners.
The First Time Home Buyers Program also features:
-
Up to 95 percent LTV (loan-to-value) for purchase of primary
residences on homes
-
Down payment options that allow for assistance from family members
-
Options for borrowers with no traditional credit history
