As a correspondent investor, Click n\u2019 Close will offer TMC\u2019s Lender Members access to SmartBuy<\/a>™, a proprietary suite of down payment assistance (DPA) loan programs designed to give homebuyers an advantage in today\u2019s heightened mortgage interest rate environment. This national program combines a USDA or FHA-insured 30-year first mortgage with either a second lien that is fully forgivable after five years or a 10-year repayable second lien amortized up to 30 years. The second lien funds available through both options meet agency minimum required investment guidelines and can be used by the borrower towards their down payment, closing costs, or to buy down the interest rate. SmartBuy also has no income or first-time homebuyer restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTMC is one of the preeminent cooperatives serving mortgage lenders in today\u2019s market, and we are delighted to be part of its Preferred Partner network,\u201d said Click n\u2019 Close founder and CEO Jeff Bode. \u201cSmartBuy is a competitive alternative to managing the myriad of state and local programs. SmartBuy has helped more than 6,000 borrowers become homeowners by extending more than $1.5 billion in DPA-related financing. We\u2019re looking forward to expanding both these numbers through our partnership with TMC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTMC is thrilled to have Click n\u2019 Close as a Preferred Partner serving the growing needs of today\u2019s mortgage lenders through its SmartBuy product suite,\u201d said TMC President and COO Melissa Langdale. \u201cThis partnership is a testament to TMC\u2019s mission of providing its members with access to the most innovative and reliable solutions in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
