This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking seeks comment on the current downpayment and minimum cash investment requirements for FHA’s Title II forward mortgages. Specifically, HUD will seek comment on the use of downpayment assistance from a source other than a family member, including from tribal providers, state housing finance agencies, local housing finance agencies, entities acting in a governmental capacity and non-profit organizations in satisfying the statutorily required minimum investment and as a source of any additional funds needed to close the insured mortgage transaction. HUD also intends to seek comment on the use of downpayment assistance or secondary financing generally.
