AMGC Community Heroes
High-LTV Portfolio Lending Solution Promotes Affordable Homebuying
Strong communities depend on a healthy mix of residents with a wide range of skills. They need essential workers, like police, firefighters and paramedics.
But higher home prices and interest rates mean that these groups are finding they can’t afford to buy homes in their communities. Down payments are usually the biggest obstacle for these would-be homeowners.
