One Roof Community Housing offers a smart alternative to private mortgage insurance. Qualified homebuyers may be able to finance their conventional loan down payment with an affordable monthly payment through our Purchase Assistance Loan, saving the cost of monthly private mortgage insurance, with as little as 2% down.
This program helps homeowners/borrowers pay down their mortgage quicker, increase their equity faster and allow for a higher tax deduction of the increased interest paid.
This is a monthly paying loan and may be used in conjunction with other assistance programs.
