New and Improved Program for First Time Homebuyers
Closing cost help
Suncoast will pay up to $3,000 toward your qualifying closing costs2 when you purchase your primary residence with our First Time Homebuyer 10/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM).
You and your family can work together to provide your down payment! We’ve reduced the down payment requirement to a minimum of 1% from the member’s own funds, allowing an immediate family member to gift you the other 2%.
We've also reduced our origination fee.
Increased maximum loan amount
We’ve increased the maximum loan amount to $600,000. This helps new homebuyers have more options to choose from when house hunting for an affordable home.
More borrowing power
You can now borrow up to 97% of the sale price or the appraisal, whichever is less, thanks to our increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV).
For example, if the home sells and appraises for $100,000, your 10/1 ARM mortgage loan amount could be up to $97,000. The other 3% or $3,000 represents your down payment.
