Wells Fargo offers closing credits to low-income L.A. County homebuyers

by •

LOS ANGELES – Wells Fargo Monday announced a plan to offer up to $5,000 in closing credits for low- and moderate-income families in Los Angeles County to make it easier for them to purchase a home.

The Dream. Plan. Home. closing credit will be applied toward nonrecurring closing costs, which can include appraisal fees, processing fees, title-related fees, recording fees and tax stamps that can be a key barrier to homeownership, according to Kristy Fercho, the head of Wells Fargo Home Lending.

“Homeownership can help bring about financial security, stable communities and most of all a safe, comfortable place to live, learn and grow,” Fercho said.

Borrowers with combined income of up to 80% of the county’s median family income, as published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, may be eligible to obtain a Dream. Plan. Home. closing-cost credit if they are purchasing a home that will be their primary residence, Wells Fargo officials said.

To qualify for the credit, homebuyers also must be getting a conventional/conforming mortgage, Veterans Affairs fixed- or adjustable-rate mortgage, or a United States Department of Agriculture fixed-rate mortgage from Wells Fargo Home Lending.

  1. You held onto that memory and waited 19 years so you could post that comment on the AVTimes?

    • I sure did. This is the first story the AV Times published in that regard. Do you think I would post this comment in a story about a lost dog?

    • BTW, this isn’t the first time I talked about it but first in the AV Times. My comment can be beneficial to a first time homebuyer reading this.

  2. Wells Fargo 19 years ago had the balls to tell me I didn’t qualify for a VA loan and I “can always go conventional”. I still remember the fool’s name. He and his flunky didn’t submit the DD-214 and I had to clear it with the VA. The fool would have cost me thousands of dollars.
