FREE Grant Money To Buy A Home....ACT Now LIMITED Funds

The National Association of Realtors reported that the 

"most difficult step in the home buying process was saving for a down payment

as cited in their 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers*



THERE IS A SOLUTIONNational HomeBuyer's Fund Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs which provide DPA in the form of a 
NON-REPAYABLE GRANT..........  (FREE MONEY)


  • Down payment and/or closing cost assistance grant, up to 5% of the loan amount.
  • Down Payment Grant (DPA) grant never has to be repaid.
  • Affordable interest rates and variety of grant levels.
  • FHA, VA, USDA and Conventional mortgage loan options.
  • NOT limited to first-time homebuyers.(no investors please...sorry)
This program was taken off the market a few years ago it's returned, but the funding is limited.
****you have to move quick***

Unlike the Georgia Dream Program (we all love) you don't have to be a... 1st time home buyer to qualify for this grant.


  • No Double closings

A DPA grant decreases homebuyer costs, avoids burdening the homebuyer with additional debt and eliminates property liens associated with secondary financing options.


This also creates a long-term positive domino effect because the housing market is infused with borrowers holding more equity for a future move-up purchase if they desire, in turn freeing up another potential entry-level property.
  • Grant reduces debt and creates positive home equity.
  • Grant creates a positive impact on housing economy.


  Non-repayable grant up to 5% of the mortgage loan.
   
  • Generous FICO/DTI requirements.
  • Low-to-moderate income limits (qualifying income only).
  • FHA, VA, and USDA loan types.
  • Available in multiple states.
  •   30-year fixed term with full amortization


Ok, There are income limits for this program, and varies county by county....

6 Diffrent Types of Homes Loans that May work for you!!




Fixed-rate loan

The most common type of loan, a fixed-rate loan prescribes a single interest rate—and monthly payment—for the life of the loan, which is typically 15 or 30 years.
Right for: Homeowners who crave predictability and aren’t going anywhere soon. You pay X amount for Y years—and that’s the end. The rise and fall of interest rates (like the nationwide increase that followed the Fed’s action in December) won’t change the terms of your loan, so you’ll always know what to expect. That said, they’re best for people who plan to stay in their home for at least a good chunk of the life of their loan; if you think you’ll move fairly soon, you may want to consider the next option.

Adjustable-rate mortgage

ARM loans offer interest rates typically lower than you’d get with a fixed-rate loan for a period of time—such as five or 10 years. But after that, your interest rates (and payments) will adjust, typically once a year, roughly corresponding to current interest rates. So if interest rates shoot up, so do your monthly payments; if they plummet, you’ll pay less.
Right for: Home buyers with lower credit scores. Since people with poor credit typically can’t get good rates on fixed-rate loans, an ARM can nudge those interest rates down enough to put homeownership within easier reach. These loans are also great for people who plan to move and sell their home before their fixed-rate period is up and their rates start vacillating.

FHA loan

While typical loans require a down payment of 20% of the purchase price of your home, with a Federal Housing Administration loan, you can put down as little as 3.5%.
Right for: Home buyers with meager savings for a down payment. These loans come with several caveats. First, most loans are limited to $417,000 and don’t provide much flexibility: Rates are typically fixed, with either 15- or 30-year terms. Buyers are also required to pay mortgage insurance—either upfront or over the life of the loan—which hovers around 1% of the cost of your loan.

VA loan

If you’ve served in the United States military, a Veterans Affairs loan can be an excellent alternative to a traditional mortgage. If you qualify, you can score a sweet home with no money down and no mortgage insurance requirements.
Right for: Veterans who’ve served 90 days consecutively during wartime, 180 during peacetime, or six years in the reserves. That said, the VA has strict requirements on the type of home you can purchase: It must be your primary residence, and it must meet “minimum property requirements” (that is, no fixer-uppers allowed).

USDA loan

USDA Rural Development loans are designed for families in rural areas. The government finances 100% of the home price—in other words, no down payment necessary—and offers discounted interest rates to boot.
Right for: Families in rural areas who are struggling financially. These loans are designed to put homeownership in their grasp. The catch? Your debt load cannot exceed your income by more than 41%, and, like the FHA loan, you will be required to purchase mortgage insurance.

Bridge loan

Also known as a gap loan or “repeat financing,” a bridge loan is an excellent option if you’re purchasing a home before selling your previous residence. Lenders will wrap your current and new mortgage into one payment; once your home is sold, you pay off that mortgage and refinance.
Right for: Homeowners with excellent credit and a low debt-to-income ratio, and who don’t need to finance more than 80% of the two homes’ combined value. Meet those requirements, and this can be a simple way of transitioning between two houses without having a meltdown—financially or emotionally—in the process.

Should I lease my house or Sell It?

In such a hot real estate market, I always get the question should I lease or sell my house.  I have a bias perspective, because I invest in real estate I always say don't sell.  Like Robert Kiyosaki says, the market may drop but people will always need a place to live.  Rental rates are jumping and I truly believe in owning HARD ASSESTS they are the best investments to have in your future.  Real Estate, gold, and other precious metals are great assests to have during hard times.  The tax advantages real estate provides can change your financial situation.

Selling right now has some strong advantages.
1.   More money- in a hot market houses don't sit too long, you can get a good price sometimes more than what you ask
2.   More buyers- low rates right now means lots of buyers looking and getting pre approved.


It comes down to cash flow/ tax advantages or capital gains and cash out.

Write down your must have's 1-10

There is no perfect house, but you can get close.  Listing the desires you want in a house helps you and your realtor drill through the MLS to find the house that could meet your needs.  More importantly, it helps to organize your thoughts, eliminates distractions, and speeds up your search process.

So put it on paper!!!!

Sooooo You want to buy a house

Your wasting your time if your not approved.  The worst  feeling is finding a house you like and finding out you can't buy it.  It's worst then missing your closing because you over slept or forgot.  Sounds crazy right.  You would never do that right?  Well your walking on the wild side.  If your agent let's you do it then fire them.  The worst feeling is seeing that home you like under contract.  If your going to look, don't draw your realtor into the search, Duncan your bias......memmm........yep.  So get your money right and don't wast your time.
