BOSTON --- June is National Homeownership Month and the Massachusetts Housing Partnership’s ONE Mortgage Program is celebrating it by highlighting the efforts of key lenders and nonprofit partners who have helped low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers purchase their first home.
Today’s lender spotlight is on long-time partner Boston Private Bank.
So far in FY 2016, Boston Private Bank has closed 34 ONE Mortgage loans totaling over $7.5 million in private financing. The average income of the buyers who bought their first home with a ONE Mortgage loan from Boston Private is $57,484.
A long-time supporter of first-time homebuyers and the ONE Mortgage Program, Boston Private Bank remains one of the top ONE lenders in the City of Boston.
Thank you Boston Private Bank for your commitment to Massachusetts first-time homebuyers and for being a long-time lender and supporter of the ONE Mortgage Program.
About ONE Mortgage: Prosperous families. Stable and secure neighborhoods. Sound, private-sector loans that get repaid. That’s what ONE Mortgage delivers.
Since 1990, ONE Mortgage and its predecessor – the SoftSecond Loan Program – have helped more than 19,300 low- and moderate-income families purchase their first and home and has delivered over $3.1 billion in below-market, private mortgage financing.
ONE Mortgage is a 30-year, fixed-rate loan with a minimum 3 percent down payment (5 percent for three-family properties). State interest subsidies are used to reduce monthly payments in the early years of homeownership and then public funds are repaid by borrowers when they successfully sell their home or refinance out of the program. No mortgage insurance is required.
