We've got answers.

We're here for you - no matter what questions arise.

If my property's appraised value is more than the purchase price can I use the difference towards my down payment?

Unfortunately, if you are purchasing a home, we'll have to use the lower of the appraised value or the sales price to determine your down payment requirement.

It's still a great benefit for your financial situation if you are able to purchase a home for less than the appraised value, but our investors don't allow us to use this "instant equity" when making our loan decision.
