Get on the Path

 

One of the great programs that are available to people looking to own a home here in Arizona is the "Pathway to Purchase" program. This is a Program run by the AZ Dept of Housing that provides Down Payment Assistance to qualified homebuyers looking to buy homes in 17 of the hardest hit cities in AZ for Foreclosures. The whole state is represented with cities from Snowflake to Yuma to Sierra Vista. A lot of the smaller Phoenix suburbs are eligible (Laveen, Surprise, Buckeye) and the program is in Tucson as well.

What are some of the Highlights of the program?

·         Mortgage for the purchase of an Owner occupied, Primary Residences in targeted areas.

·         Borrower(s) Income not to exceed $92,984.00
