Flex Down Mortgage Options

Unlock Homeownership Sooner

At Shawn Mooney - Mortgage Architects, I understand that for many potential buyers, earning a good income isn't the problem—saving a large lump sum for a down payment is.

A Flex Down Mortgage offers a strategic solution to this common hurdle. It allows qualified borrowers to use borrowed funds for their down payment, helping you enter the housing market and start building equity without waiting years to save.

What is a Flex Down Mortgage?

A Flex Down Mortgage enables you to purchase a home by borrowing your down payment from a lender-approved arm's length source. Instead of relying solely on personal savings or non-repayable gifts, you can utilize funds from sources such as:

  • A personal line of credit

  • A personal loan

  • A credit card

This option is particularly beneficial for first-time home buyers who have a strong credit history and reliable income but have not yet accumulated the traditional 5% down payment.

Benefits of a Flex Down Mortgage

  • Immediate Market Entry: The primary benefit is accessibility. You can stop renting and start owning sooner, regardless of your current savings balance.

  • Flexibility: It allows you to leverage existing credit facilities to secure a real estate asset.

  • Asset Appreciation: By buying now rather than waiting to save, you can benefit from potential increases in property value sooner.
