Genworth Financial now offers an improved low-down-payment program, called Homebuyer 97. They’ve reduced their required down payment to 3% and cut their mortgage default insurance premium from 3.10% to 2.90%.
(Note: Genworth also has a 0% down program but the insurance premiums and credit requirements are slightly higher.)
The move brings Genworth in line with AIG, who was first to market with their similar “Advantage 97” program.
