Home Possible®

The Home Possible mortgage from Freddie Mac offers options and credit flexibilities to help low- to moderate-income borrowers buy a home. It has a low down payment requirement (as low as 3%) and easier credit score requirements. Use the Freddie Mac Lookup Tool to see if a subject property meets the county loan limit requirement. 

Freddie Mac continues to add more options to the Home Possible program, increasing its flexibility and making it a loan to consider for many borrowers. For example, co-signers don’t have to live in the same home, borrowers can own an additional financed property, and down payments can come from a variety of sources.

Home Possible also allows for an Affordable Second^®, a secondary loan from a nonprofit group, state agency, or county agency. This helps give your client access to more funding.*
