A gift or grant from a lender is allowed only after a minimum three percent contribution is made from borrower personal funds or other eligible sources of funds.
In addition to their own funds, a borrower can also receive assistance in reaching the minimum three percent contribution on a one-unit property from other sources. These include: a gift from a person meeting the Guide definition of a related person, funds from a governmental or non-governmental agency, Employer Assisted Homeownership (EAH) programs, and Affordable Seconds®.
