Fannie Mae Ready Buyer Program

[Avery Robertson]

I’m looking to buy my first personal residence that I may turn into a rental in the future. It is a Fannie Mae home. It has been on the market for quite some time so I was going to try to get it below listing.

Since I am a first time homebuyer I can take the ready buyer course for $75 and possibly get up to 3% in closing costs.

My question is does taking this course and asking for the closing cost assistance weaken my offer?
