FHA Cash to Close Savings Plan – Alternative to FHA Down Payment Assistance 411

Borrowers are eligible to save cash to close during the construction period. The following criteria and documentation must be adhered to:

• Borrowers must provide a written statement as to how they intend to save the funds to close.
• A monthly savings plan that identifies the borrower’s savings plan for the funds needed for closing must be completed in its entirety.
• This form must be included in the file submitted to Underwriting. The underwriter has the final decision of the borrower’s eligibility for this program.
• The funds saved must be held by a disinterested 3rd party. The funds cannot be held by Wells Fargo, but can be held by Wells Fargo Bank.
• Credit approval will be subject to the completion and verification of the approved savings plan.
• Gift funds are not allowed after Underwriting has issued a credit approval; however, exceptions to this may be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
• The underwriter must document the file accordingly. All funds must be saved in accordance with the approved savings plan.
