Gold program
The Gold home loan program also offers a grant of up to 3.5% in down payment assistance. While it is intended just for first-time buyers, OHFA does make an exception for residents of targeted areas of the state.
Your income limit will vary depending on the size of your family, the type of mortgage you use and where you want to buy. Here are the rates for a Freddie Mac HFA Advantage loan.
Teachers, first responders and state employees can also qualify for a 0.25% reduction on their interest rate, so long as they’re first-time buyers using an FHA, VA or USDA loan.
To qualify, OHFA will ask you to show your professional credentials:
- OHFA 4 Teachers: You must have a current Oklahoma State Department of Education Teaching Certificate and be under contract with any Oklahoma-accredited public, private or parochial school.
- OHFA Shield: You’ll have to be currently employed by (or volunteering with) a first responder agency. For law enforcement applicants, you’ll have to be CLEET certified.
- Oklahoma State Employees: You’ll simply have to demonstrate that you’re a current Oklahoma state employee.
Whichever loan type you use, the maximum purchase price under the Gold program is $294,600.
