For Eligible Metro Atlanta Buyers
Special Home Buying Opportunity
Some Metro Atlanta homes qualify for a special financing program — a below-market fixed rate, no mortgage insurance, and up to 100% financing for eligible buyers. That can mean a lower monthly payment, and more home for the same budget.

See what better financing could change.
The difference is not just the down payment. A lower fixed rate with no mortgage insurance can meaningfully lower your monthly payment — so the same budget can reach more home.

Below-Market Fixed Rate
A fixed-rate structure may be priced below prevailing market rates, subject to current program terms.
No Income Limit
Works for both first-time and repeat buyers, with no maximum household-income limit.
9% Seller Contribution
Sellers may contribute up to 9% toward your prepaid items, closing costs, or an interest-rate buy-down.
Close With as Little as $500
Some eligible buyers can get to closing with as little as $500 of their own funds.

Important: A city or ZIP code may contain both qualifying and non-qualifying homes. Program eligibility must be verified by exact address.
Additional eligibility information: This program is offered as a special-purpose credit program and is available only for homes located in eligible census tracts within select counties — including Fulton, Carroll, Clayton, Coweta, DeKalb, Fayette, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Pickens, Rockdale, and Walton. Typical program guidelines include a 650 credit score and primary-residence occupancy. County availability and eligible census tracts are set by the lender and subject to change; confirm current eligibility by exact address.
