First Time Homebuyers
We provide innovative homeownership solutions that promote self-worth in our customers and strengthen the communities we serve.
Who We Are
Link Home Loans offers a new homeownership innovation that provides access to home financing for those in the gap between renting and owning. We provide a direct loan to consumers having a difficult time qualifying for a traditional home mortgage.
With a Link Home Loan, the customer enjoys a fixed interest rate and financing for up to 40 years, while receiving down payment assistance in the form of a second mortgage. Monthly payments are fixed and based on the underlying terms of the FHA OwnOption Mortgage.
A single monthly payment covers the principal, interest, taxes and insurance on both the first and second mortgage. With Link's 40 year term, monthly payments are more affordable.
Qualifying for a Link Home Loan
Link Home Loans fill the gap for Americans seeking homeownership that would otherwise be locked out. Offered through Trio's approved network of lenders, Link provides 100% financing to college graduates, first time home buyers, small business owners, gig workers, those with student loans, ITIN borrowers and multi-generational households.
If you don't have the down payment or qualify for a traditional home mortgage but have the cash flow to make your payment, then a Link Home Loan is for you. Qualifying is simple with no limitations on household income and a minimum credit score of only 580. Link leans on your rental history and employment for most approvals.
Link provides participating lenders with uniform national underwriting guidelines and a solution for applicants that would otherwise be denied. Through Link, lenders can expand their offerings to help more households bridge into homeownership and save closings that would otherwise be denied.
