1 3117 N. 16 th St., Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ (602) Fax: (602) Dear Homeowner, This packet contains the legal documents required to begin the repairs on your house. As you know, the work done is a free service if you continue to live in the home for at least 10 years. Regulations impose this in order to safeguard against program abuse, such as a person buying a property, utilizing federal funds to improve it then selling it for personal gain. For this reason, the value of the work done on your home is reflected as a forgivable loan, which forgives at the rate of 15% for the first 5 years (75%), and 5% per year for the remaining 5 years (25%). If you should pass away (during this 10-year time period) and bequeath the home to your relatives, then they would have the option of keeping the home, selling it, or putting it up for rent. If they sell it, they can pass the loan on to the new homebuyers. If they decide to rent it, and if the renters are in the same income bracket (80% of median) as the original homeowners, the loan will continue to forgive. Whatever the case, no one would ever be required to pay money out-of-pocket. For example, if the value of your home improvements is $12,000 and your children inherit the house 5 years from now, $9,000 would have already been forgiven. If they should decide to sell the home, they could repay the remaining $3,000 from the proceeds of the sale or simply attach the loan to the sale of the home. If they should decide to keep the home for at least another 5 years, the loan would continue to forgive and they would never have to pay for any of the work perfomed, even if they sold it for a considerable profit. If you would like help completing the application, or if you need more information, please let us know. SI NECESITA AYUDA PARA COMPLETAR ESTA FORMA - FAVOR DE LLAMAR AL TELEFONO (602) Page 1 of 8
