First Time Buyer Programs / Down Payment Programs
As a First Time Home Buyer there are government funding or grant programs available to you based on your income qualifications, credit scores, residency requirements, available public funds and in some cases, your participation in some program courses. These programs can assist with Down Payments, lower qualification criteria, etc., and are intended to help you "Get In the Market" to share the rewards of home ownership.
Most lenders are aware of these programs and can assist you, or we can provide references, but if you are one of the people that want to check these things out yourself, below is a list of some links to agencies that you can click on to access their websites.
