Questions? We’ve got answers.

ONE+ has an income cap – also called an Area Median Income (AMI) requirement. That means you may qualify if your income is below a certain percentage of the AMI where you want to buy a home.

You can check your income using this look-up tool, but we encourage you to apply or chat with a Home Loan Expert. It’s the best way to find out which income guidelines apply to you. Even if your income doesn’t qualify, we could have other low down payment options for you.


No, you don’t have to be a first-time home buyer to be eligible for ONE+.

Yes, you can put down as much as 2.99% of the purchase price, and we’ll still cover an additional 2% down.

You might decide to put down more than 1% to lower your monthly mortgage payment, or you could decide to go with the lowest down payment and use the funds for closing costs. We’ll help you figure out which strategy is best for you.

It’s a 30-year fixed-rate conventional loan. This means that your payments are spread over 30 years and your interest rate stays the same for the entire length of the mortgage.

Whether you’re starting to look at homes or you’ve just made an offer, begin the approval process. You can do that by applying online or talking to a Home Loan Expert.
