Market to Affordable
In this program the buyer can purchase a One (1) Bedroom unit ONLY
The Market to Affordable Program utilizes Affordable Housing Trust Fund money to provide a minimum $25,000 subsidy (grant) to qualified applicants in order to buy market rate homes at a price affordable to low- or moderate-income households, in exchange for deed restricting the property for 30 years as an affordable unit.
The affordable sales price is what a qualified home buyer must fund - through a conventional mortgage, cash or a combination of the two. FHA and VA mortgages are not eligible for this program. The affordable sales price is the amount in which the deed restriction will be made and the is the basis for taxes and re-sales.
The buyer must be able to qualify for a conventional mortgage.
Applicants will be required to obtain a conventional mortgage pre-qualification from a lender (Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 640; no recent judgments, bankruptcies or foreclosures). Triad will provide a list of qualified mortgage lenders. Again, FHA and VA mortgages are not eligible for this program.
Once the applicant sends Triad the lender’s pre-qualification letter, Triad will calculate their affordability based on the lender letter and current income information provided, then issue a Subsidy Pre-qualification and next steps in the process so the applicant may work with a realtor to identify a unit that meets their criteria.
