These are conventional 3% down programs.  These listed here are the three major programs, however there are others.  Please call to find out what program best fits your and your needs.

First: Fannie Mae's original program requires a minimum credit score of 620 and the 3% down has to be of your own funds.  There are income caps per the county you reside in and you have to show one month of payment (which can be a gift) in reserves. The seller can pay up to 3% concessions towards your closing costs. First Time Homebuyer education is required.

Second: Fannie Mae's Flex Program. This program requires a minimum credit score  of 660 (real good credit). There are no maximum income limits. The seller can pay up to 3% concessions towards your closing costs. The 3% down can come from an unsecured loan from a relative, non-profit organization or your employer, a gift from a relative or a non-profit organization. Thus you can accomplish 100% financing. Two  months of payments are recommended for reserves, however the actual amount is determined by automated underwriting.  Homebuyer education is not required.

Third: Freddie Mac Gold Alt 97.  This program requires a credit score of 680.  Income caps are in effect for the county you live in except if you buy within a city limit, there is none. Seller can pay up to 3% of your closing costs and the down payment can come from a gift or unsecured loan from a relative, grant or unsecured loan from a municipality, non-profit organization, or an employer-assisted housing program. Thus, again, you can accomplish 100% financing.  Homebuyer education is required.

All of these programs will be automated underwritten and you have to be approved by automated underwriting. These loans cannot even be considered with a bankruptcy that is less than 4-5 years old and you have to have at least four trade lines reestablished for a minimum of two  years. Ratios vary on different programs from 28-33% for housing ratio to 38% for total bill ratio.
