    Writing an FHA and Nehemiah Program Offer: Structuring the Purchase Agreement


    These are the instructions for writing an FHA and Nehemiah offer.

    First and foremost, the seller must pay the tax service fee of $81.00.

    Check the FHA Loan box.

    Page 1:

    If asking the seller to pay for a closing cost credit FHA allows a 1-6% closing cost.

    "Seller to contribute 3% for non-recurring and recurring closing costs."

    If asking the seller to contribute toward the Nehemiah Program the seller can be asked to contribute up to 6% plus a $599 processing fee for re-sell (Short Sale and Foreclosure) properties and $399 for new construction.

    "Seller to contribute 3% of the sales price toward the Nehemiah Program plus $499 processing fee."

    Page 6: Other financing terms (line 24)

    "The seller is aware the homebuyer is receiving downpayment assistance through the Nehemiah program as set forth in the related Participating Home Agreement."

    Addendum - Participating Home Agreement to be completed and submitted with the offer.

    0. Print the attached Participating Home Agreement to complete and
    submit with offer.
    1. Calculate the percentage of downpayment assistance requesting
    1-6%. Typically 3%.
    2. Add the processing fee. $499 for re-sell properties and $399 for
    new construction.
    3. Add the two dollar amounts together for a total dollar amount due
    to the Nehemiah Corporation of America.
