Affordable Mortgage Program
If buying a home feels out of reach, let’s team up on an Affordable Mortgage.
Our Affordable Mortgage Program (AMP) can help you buy or refinance a home by offering ways to reduce your down payment, closing costs and more. If you’re buying a house that needs work, you may be able to combine our AMP loan with the HomeFresh Second Mortgage that provides financing for property improvements.With a Banner Bank home loan, you'll get:
How the Affordable Mortgage works:
- The Affordable Mortgage Program (AMP) is a fixed-rate loan for owner-occupied, single-family residences including manufactured homes and condominiums.
- Borrow up to 97% of the home’s value to refinance the home.
- Borrow up to 99% of the home’s value toward its purchase.
- Seller may contribute a portion of the purchase price toward closing costs.
How the HomeFresh Second Mortgage works:
- Combine with our Affordable Mortgage home loan to obtain total financing up to 105% of the home’s value.
- Borrow up to $50,000 or 10% of the home’s value, whichever is less, for property improvements.
- Apply gifts or down-payment assistance, with some limits.
To qualify, the borrower must:
- Contribute at least $500, which may come from a gift, grant or down-payment-assistance program.
