Down Payment Assistance Program
The City of Rosemead has funds available to assist low income residents with the purchase of their first home. The assistance is in the form is a silent second loan (no payments until the loan is paid or until 30 years from the loan origination), and is available to low income families who have not owned a home within the previous three years. The amount of the loan will vary depending on the value of the house to be purchased to assist the homebuyer in achieving a 20% down payment. The maximum allowable loan will be $70,000.
One of the many challenges that a hopeful first-time home buyer faces is saving up enough money for a down payment. The City of Rosemead has a program to assist low income renters with the purchase of their first home through the City of Rosemead’s Down Payment Assistance Loan Program. This is a great program where low income residents can receive up to $70,000 towards a down payment on a home.
