The MaxONE Down Payment Assistance Program is designed to make homeownership more affordable by reducing or even eliminating the upfront costs of buying a home. With options that cover down payments and even closing costs, these programs are available to borrowers with credit scores as low as 620. Whether you need help lowering your initial monthly payments, want a true zero-down option, or need assistance with both down payment and closing fees, MaxONE offers flexible solutions to fit your needs.
The MaxONE program offers an FHA loan with the option of a 2/1 buydown to lower initial payments, best suited for buyers with steady credit and income. MaxONE Plus provides true zero-down financing by combining a first and second mortgage, ideal for buyers who don’t have funds for a down payment but still meet credit requirements. MaxONE Home Assist goes further by covering not only the down payment but also up to 5% of closing costs, making it a strong choice for borrowers who need help with both upfront expenses
