Healthy Neighborhoods Reinvest Baltimore Rate Savings Program
Healthy Neighborhoods’ (HNI) Reinvest Baltimore Rate Savings program is a purchase-only loan product designed for homebuyers interested in purchasing recently renovated homes from HNI-approved developers within the boundaries of a “Healthy Neighborhood” and other authorized locations. This program, using funding from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, allows HNI to buy-down the interest rate on behalf of the borrower to below-market levels (currently 3.5%, subject to change at any time). No private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required.
