Pathways to Purchase

As a replacement for the My Home program, Prince George’s County released Pathways to Purchase which is available now.  The key details are:

  • $10,000 in forgiven down payment and closing cost assistance.  Every year you live in the property, they will forgive $1,000 and so after 10 years the entire assistance is forgiven.
  • Required buyer contribution of 1.75% of the sales price.  So on a $250k house, your required contribution is $4375. You of course need to cover the down payment and closing costs not covered by the $10k assistance and if applicable a seller closing cost credit.
  • Maximum home purchase price allowed is $399,000.
  • Required home quality inspection which must pass.  Cost is $139. Order at http://www.hudpass.com
  • Minimum closing time frames 60 days+ to allow time for the county to perform their doc review.
  • First time buyer counseling required from one of these agencies
