OHFA update

The Ohio Housing Finance Agency announced its new homebuyer tax advantage credit program. Eligible borrowers will receive a second loan for 3% of the purchase price and can use this money toward the down payment or closing costs. The buyers would not be required to start repaying the second mortgage until August 1, 2010. Once they receive their $8000 tax credit they may use this money to repay the mortgage if they would like and there are incentives to repay it before June 30, 2010. The second mortgage would have an interest rate 1% higher than the first.
