Home Loans for Teachers
One of the financial benefits of being a teacher is qualifying for a special home loan that includes a low rate guarantee and discounted fees. HUD introduced the teacher home loans with the Good Neighbor Next Door program that is designed to reward teachers when they buy a house in low or moderate-income neighborhood. Under the Teacher Next Door program, the school must certify that the borrower is a teacher working full-time or a school administrator. The only catch for teachers financing a home with this program is that the home-buyer cannot have owned another house for one year prior to the time a purchase offer was given to the Realtor. In addition, borrowers must agree to reside in the property for three years without buying an additional home during that time frame. If buying a HUD home at a discount isn't enough, there are also home financing incentives that are offered exclusively to teachers. Teachers are encouraged to apply for an FHA mortgage with a $100 down-payment. HUD also allows teachers to finance their closing costs. In most cases, borrowers are prohibited to finance the lender fees and closing costs on purchase loan transactions.

About the Teacher Next Door Loan Program |
The Department of Housing and Urban Development introduced unique teacher home loan incentives a few years ago. This entitlement program offers a 50% discount on single-family houses, townhouses and condominiums that are sold to a teacher. The qualified teacher may buy the HUD-owned home discounted up to 50% from the list price. |
