Who is Eligible?
The program works for you if:
You are able to apply and successfully qualify for mortgage approval with one of our approved lending partners.
You have permanent, steady employment & are able to contribute just $1,500 of your own funds to go towards a required 5% down payment.
You can complete our online Owner’s Education Course on responsible home ownership upon program approval.
The program may NOT be for you if:
You can’t qualify for a mortgage. Liberty helps to give you a down payment, but the mortgage approval process is exactly the same as it would be for any other purchase.
You have bad credit. With a score below 650 you may have issues being approved for a mortgage through most major lenders.
You are in consumer proposal/bankruptcy. Most major lenders will not grant mortgages to people in consumer proposal.
