Down Payment Assistance Is Not Dead!

Down Payment Assistance Is Not Dead!

Many first-time homebuyers, who would otherwise qualify for a mortgage, lack the funds to cover the down payment and closing costs necessary to purchase a home. In fact, this is the largest barrier to becoming a homeowner.

Some people are fortunate enough to be able to get a gift for the down payment from a parent or other relative. But, with the recent economic down turn fewer people have money to give. And, with the seller-assisted down payment assistance programs being banned a couple years ago many first-time homebuyers have had to sit on the sidelines and wait to afford a new home.
