Cobalt Mortgage teamed-up with Rainy Day Foundation to establish Payment Assurance Plan. The plan provides mortgage protection, education and financial counseling for qualified homebuyers, up to $1,800 for up to six months. “We are hopeful that with the Payment Assurance Plan we can help prospective homeowners have the added confidence needed to take advantage of, in our opinion, a very unique opportunity to purchase a home today,” said Keith Tibbles, president at Cobalt.

Cobalt anticipates providing assistance to around 75 homebuyers in its first month. Write to Kelly Curran.
