First Step Mortgage Revenue Bonds
Amount: Down payment assistance second mortgage up to the lesser of $10,000 or 4% of the sales price, available when paired with the statewide First Step mortgage.
Repayment: First Step itself uses standard 30-year fixed first-mortgage repayment. The paired down payment assistance is documented as a 10-year second mortgage at closing, so borrowers should treat that assistance as a repayable second mortgage rather than a grant.
First-time buyer: Varies
Timing: First Step loan reservations use 30- or 45-day reservation periods, and the commitment fee must be wired to AHFA within 72 hours of the loan reservation.
