Many families who are currently renting have seen rents rise to levels beyond their means. UHFAs very low interest rales make buying a home more affordable than renting in many cases, and home ownership through UHFA allows families to control their housing costs by enabling them to escape the spiral of ever rising rent rates. UHFA will target the $25 million home in mortgage funds to first-dm- e buyers across the state. Prospecdve buyers may qualify for these monies proriding their income and the cost of the home they want to buy is below certain limits. Limits vary from county to county across the state depending on the size of the household and the location of the home purchased. As a general example, the 7.22 percent mortgage interest rate allows a household earning approximately $20,2000 annually to purchase a $60,000 home with a monthly mortgage payment of only $490. Many households are currently paying considerably more than $500 a month in rent and unlike a mortgage payment their rent may steadily rise in the future. The savings with UHFA loan is also considerable when compared to conventional mortgage financing. With present convendonal mortgage rates of 8.5 percent first-tim- e buyers will realize considerable savings with a UHFA loan and will not need to earn as much money. UHFAs Execudve Director, William H. Erickson said, With convendonal mortgage interest rates on the rise, this is the only opportunity available for many families wishing to purchase their own home. Informative brochures containing specifics on UHFAs affordable mortgage loan programs are available by contacting Utah Housing Finance or long disAgency at 359-520tance callers may dial toll free at 0, Interested applicants should act quickly - UHFAs last issuance of $25 million in mortgage money lasted less titan one month! cow-girl-Sa- m Dclceuw.
