loans than they
normally would qualify for and lower down payments, in
return the new home
owner (plus household) must own one car or less
and live within a specified
distance of a bus route, light rail route or train
station. (In Los Angeles,
the LEM allows homebuyers in Los Angeles or
Orange County to qualify for up
to $50 000 more when applying for a
loan.) |
