Upon qualification, you are entitled to receive $3000. In comparison, a traditional refinance would get you $2000.
You can use the new loan to pay for closing costs, prepaid items, and points (up to $5000). This will allow you to keep your cash on-hand in reserve for other expenses. If your loan balance is below $300,000 the current adverse market refinance fees will be waived completely.
In case you have a condo warranty, a super conforming, or high balance loan you will not qualify for this program.
