[quote=bearishgurl]I just looked at the listing again and the Redfin listing is misleading in that it states the asking price is “$311,542.” This is WRONG and also false advertising which is banking on the lack of sophistication in these buyers.
See below for income guidelines by household size. 1 person household: $44,001-$63,400 annual gross income. 2 person hh: $50,251-$72,500. 3 person hh: $56,551-81,550. 4 person hh: $62,801-$90,600. 5 person hh: $67,851-$97,850. Purchase price includes $18,500 down payment, $293,022 30-year fixed by approved lender. Balance of cost is in the form of over $88,000 in down payment assistance loans! Please call for terms of these loans, compete qualification criteria, and resale restrictions.
Piggs, how is a “low income” buyer going to pay back a “silent second, I/O second or straight-note-with-balloon second” of $88K+ if the property doesn’t appreciate and they are restricted as to WHEN they can sell it and/or WHO they can it to??
I would also venture that there is a prepayment penalty involved in the financing here. This small subdivision with its “rigged financing scheme” is a disaster waiting to happen to the most vulnerable families, IMO.[/quote]
Bearishgurl, you are awesome. Excellent post!
You do such a great job looking out for us Piggs, and always come up with good advice, and the info to back it up. I think that we should make you our Den Mother.
