If you need it, we need it. Please include our loan in your total monthly housing payment. Our loan is a community affordable second mortgage which means 100% financing in most situations should be available to the borrower while still allowing you to sell your mortgage. Be sure to set the loan identifier to a type that will allow this program (i.e. Freddie Mac Home Possible Advantage, Fannie Mae Home Ready, etc.) We will finance less than 20% upon request.
NWWVT’s rate cannot be more than 2% above the 1^st Mortgage Lender’s and stay in compliance with the community affordable second mortgage designation.
Typical closing costs are between $750 and $850.
For document sharing: we have found that putting a flag on the file cover helps us remember to share all information with you.
NWWVT provides Homebuyer Education in-person and online but the choice of Homebuyer Education provider resides with the borrower.

Provide the appraisal as soon as you receive it
Provide the settlement agent information and borrower’s attorney name as soon as possible
Be sure to notify us of the closing date and time as soon as it’s scheduled
