MHC Easy8 (Mississippi)

$8,000

Up to $8,000 at 0% interest. Deferred until sale, refinance, or payoff. First-time buyers.

Easy8 provides 8% of the loan amount in DPA — nearly enough to cover the entire 10% down payment required for borrowers with credit scores between 500-579 on FHA loans. This makes homeownership accessible to buyers who would otherwise be locked out by credit requirements.

Mississippi's program naming convention (Smart6, Smart7, Easy8) reflects increasing levels of assistance with corresponding first mortgage rate adjustments. Each program serves a different buyer profile based on how much cash they have available versus what monthly payment they can afford.
