State Down Payment Help is 35 Days Late

The gang from Sell for 1 Percent, joined by Jody Vermillion of Roo-Off Mortgage, breaks down a critical delay in Ohio’s down payment assistance program.

Jody reveals a compelling alternative called the HomeNow program—it offers a full 5% in assistance, has more flexible credit and debt ratio requirements, and avoids the seven-year residency rule tied to OFA funds. For Columbus homebuyers needing assistance, this alternative could be the key to closing on time without getting caught in state-level delays.
