More rewards and better benefits
Our Community Lending Program offers affordable financial solutions and low-down payment requirements, making it the perfect match for low-to-moderate income home buyers in designated market areas. At FirstBank we see an opportunity to pave the path to homeownership by creating a geographical area and low-moderate borrower income driven program. The geographical areas that would benefit from this program are those properties located in Majority Black Track (MBT) and/or Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) low and moderate census tracts. Therefore, if the applicant’s property location is in a MBT or CRA, or the income of the applicant is low-moderate, the loan could be considered Special Purpose Credit Program eligible.
All loans are subject to credit approval under FirstBank Florida terms and conditions. Programs, rates, terms and conditions may vary and are subject to change.
