In order to obtain this loan, homebuyers must work with a participating lender who can also advise you which neighborhoods fall within the Target Areas.

Features of the IDA Mortgage Loan
The IDA Mortgage Loan is funded by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the Industrial Development Authority of Pima County and the City of Tucson. To apply for this loan, contact a participating lender. Other features of the loan include:

         :: Eligible loan types: Conventional, FHA, VA or USDA
         :: Lender fees are reasonable and customary

Downpayment Assistance
The  IDA Mortgage Loan also offers homebuyers a second loan for down payment and closing costs.  The second loan can total up to 7% of the first mortgage loan; it has a 7% interest rate fixed for 30 years. Homebuyers must occupy their new homes as their principal residence.

In place of the second loan, borrowers meeting certain low-income criteria may qualify to receive up to $10,000 in down payment assistance from FHR.  The borrower may not earn more than 80 % of median income.  The assistance is in the form of a second lien, forgivable in 10 years (click here)  .  Contact FHR at 318-0093 for more information.

Recapture Tax
Because the loan is funded by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, homebuyers obtaining the IDA Mortgage Loan program could have to share with the Federal government a portion of the gain on the sale on the residence if the home is sold in the first nine years and the homebuyer realizes a net gain and experiences a significant increase in their income. The maximum potential recapture tax begins decreasing in year five, and is eliminated altogether after year nine.

How Do I Apply?
Interested borrowers may contact a participating lender. BE SURE TO TELL THE LENDER THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE BOND LOAN.  Borrowers should direct all questions about their loan application to a participating lender.
