Gift Money - Money that is given to a borrower that is used for down payment and or closing costs.
Many first time home buyers use gift money to buy a house. Here is what you need to know about the process:
WHO - Any immediate family member, sorry, no friends or cousins
WHERE - FHA Loans need the money to come from a bank account / Conventional just needs a cleared or cancelled check
SEASONED - FHA monies need to be seasoned 30 days / Conventional does not need seasoning
HOW MUCH - Entire down payment and closing costs can be paid by Gift
WHEN - ASK US before you do anything or move any money from any gift done.
