If you are in the market to buy your first new home, you may happy to learn that you may be able to qualify for first time home buyer grants, which can provide you with down payment assistance on the purchase of your new home. These grant programs are often provided to new home buyers, regardless of credit or income.
With first time home buyer grants, those buyers can get money for down payment, closing and to help reduce mortgage payments. Because the funds that are awarded are not loans, the applicant never has to worry about paying the money back. It’s just a matter of finding and applying for them.
Traditionally, first time home buyer grants are provided by local or state government agencies. They are used to help expand or develop the community. By providing these grants, the government is able to effectively raise home values, attract new home owners and small business. That means more tax revenue for the government, making time home buyer grants end up being a win-win situation.
Different types of grants are available with various terms. As you search the grant directory, you’ll want to review the terms of each grant to find the one that is most suitable for you and most closely matches your qualifications. There is, however, no limit on the number of grants you can apply for or receive. As long as you are at least 18 years old and a tax paying citizen, you are free to apply for as many government and private foundation grants as you like.
