Resale Restriction, Excess Sales Proceeds Note, and Deed of Trust

This program requires you to sign a Restriction Agreement with a “Perpetuity” Term. It does not expire.

Understanding the intricacies of the program documents is crucial when considering participation in a housing program. Deed restrictions, agreements, promissory notes, and deeds of trust are all legal instruments that can significantly impact the rights and obligations of property owners. For instance, deed restrictions can limit how a property is used, who you can sell it to, refinancing, and upgrading the home, and it requires the owner to occupy the home. It also sets conditions for its future sale, which includes a cap on the resale value and/or an equity share, depending on the program. Similarly, a promissory note is a binding promise to repay a loan and/or excess sales proceeds (the difference between the home's fair market value and the maximum restricted resale price), and a deed of trust secures the promissory note by placing a lien on the property.
