These guys are offering: 1) No Downpayment Their conditions are: 1) You live in the house as long as you have the mortgage. Anyone dealt with them before? How strict are they about condition #1 and how do they verify it? |
Anyone heard of NACA: Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America Archived From: Finance |

Watch out for the extra fees: $50/mo for 5-10 years. NACA Website said:At your first individual meeting with a Mortgage Consultant, you will need to pay the Membership Fee, (for 2007 is $20 for the year). Once you purchase your home, you will need to pay the Membership Fee, which includes the Neighborhood Stabilization Fund Fee,of $50 a month for a period of between five and ten years, depending on the amount of the mortgage. source |
NACA seems like a really good way into homeownership. There seems to be a lot of positive response to it over at creditboard's mortgage forum. There is a post that is chronicling the homebuying purchase with NACA on there. |

CrAsian said:You can also buy down the interest rate to 0%. What do you mean by "buy down the interest rate"? |
aamirmian said:CrAsian said:You can also buy down the interest rate to 0%. For every 1% (of the home purchase price) you bring to the table they will cut your interest rate by a 0.25%. So lowering your APR by 0.25% on a $100K home will require you to bring $1000..... $4000 for a 1% reduction and so on. I got that info from someone who had attended a NACA meeting. Here is a link to a nice discussion with a lot of info dealing with NACA and it's costs: |
I checked into it and it seems like a good way for many people who just want a home to get started. |
I went to the meeting, and I visited one of the offices, they really do what they claim, in the next couple of years they will go into credit cards, and auto finance. |
I am a little suspicious, if something sounds too good it usually has some drawback. Doing the math I can't see how they can refinance that in the market with several points below going rate. They seem to have some large backers but at the end the financials still need to work out, is not like Citi and BoA have money to spare |
