2025 Home Possible Loan: Your Key to Affordable Homeownership
What Is the Home Possible Loan Program?
The Home Possible Loan, backed by Freddie Mac, is tailored for low- to moderate-income borrowers, offering a low 3% down payment, flexible credit requirements, and cancellable mortgage insurance. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to refinance, Joint Path Mortgage makes the Home Possible Loan process seamless, helping you achieve homeownership in 2025.
Key Benefits of the Home Possible Loan
- Low 3% Down Payment: Purchase a home with as little as 3% down, using gifts, grants, or down payment assistance programs.
- Cancellable Mortgage Insurance: Pay reduced private mortgage insurance (PMI), which can be cancelled once you reach 20% equity.
- Flexible Credit Requirements: Qualify with a credit score as low as 620 for single-family homes (660 for manufactured homes or ARMs).
- Income Flexibility: Use income from co-borrowers or rental units (for multi-unit properties) to qualify.
- Refinancing Options: Refinance your primary residence to lower rates or adjust terms without cash-out restrictions.
- Multi-Unit Properties: Buy a 1–4 unit property as your primary residence, with rental income from other units helping you qualify.
Who Qualifies for a Home Possible Loan?
To be eligible for the Home Possible Loan program, you must meet these criteria:
- Income Limits: Your income must be at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). Check eligibility using the Freddie Mac Income Eligibility Tool.
- Credit Score: Minimum 620 for single-family homes; 660 for manufactured homes, adjustable-rate mortgages, or no-cash-out refinances.
- Property Type: Primary residence only (single-family homes, condos, co-ops, 1–4 unit properties, or manufactured homes with restrictions).
- Homebuyer Education: At least one borrower must complete a homeownership education course (e.g., Freddie Mac’s CreditSmart Homebuyer U) if all borrowers are first-time homebuyers.
- Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio: Typically up to 50%, with flexibility for additional income sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a Home Possible Loan to refinance?
Yes, you can refinance your primary residence with a Home Possible Loan to secure a better rate or term, but cash-out refinances are not permitted.
Is the Home Possible Loan only for first-time homebuyers?
No, both first-time and repeat homebuyers can qualify, provided the home is your primary residence and you meet income and credit requirements.
How does Home Possible differ from HomeReady?
Home Possible (Freddie Mac) and HomeReady (Fannie Mae) both offer 3% down payments, but Home Possible requires a higher credit score (620 vs. 620) for single-family homes and has different income flexibility rules.
