Utilizing the OHFA 4Teachers loan product, Erin received 3.5% down payment assistance at closing. The OHFA 4Teachers loan also provided a quarter-percentage point reduction in her interest rate.
“My fiancé and I decided to buy a home mainly because rent is so expensive compared to a mortgage. Without down payment assistance I would not have been able to afford the home I have. Our home has a huge backyard and my dogs need tons of space."
