Introducing RezSource*: Revolutionizing Homeownership with Significantly Low-Down Payments and Lender Contributions

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Newrez proudly unveils its groundbreaking product, RezSource, a conventional loan product that redefines accessibility for low-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers (FTHBs). This innovative program allows qualified individuals and families to secure their dream home with an incredibly low down payment, while also benefiting from a generous lender contribution to further ease financial burdens.

Key Features of RezSource:

1. Even Lower Down Payments: RezSource enables low-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers to enter the housing market with only a 1% down payment, a game-changer for those facing financial constraints.
2. Lender Contribution: In addition to offering a minimal down payment requirement, Newrez helps the borrow by contributing the lesser of 2% of the appraised value or purchase price or $5,000. This lender contribution serves as extra support for the borrower, further reducing the financial commitment.
3. Minimized Out-of-Pocket Costs: RezSource is meticulously designed to minimize out-of-pocket costs for the borrower, ensuring a smoother and more affordable homeownership journey.
4. Flexible Funding Sources: Newrez recognizes the diverse financial situations of potential homeowners and created RezSource with added flexibility in meeting the 1% down payment contribution. Borrowers can utilize various sources including gifts, funds from family, support from eligible nonprofits, and assistance from government agencies, among others.

"We are thrilled to introduce RezSource, a product that reflects our commitment to making homeownership a reality for individuals who may have thought it was out of reach," said Baron Silverstein, President at Newrez.

"With RezSource, we aim to empower low-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers by providing an unprecedented combination of very low-down payments and substantial lender contributions."
