Best for: First-time homebuyers who need closing cost or down payment assistance.
In an effort to attract new residents, many states and cities offer first-time homebuyer grants and programs. The aid comes in the form of grants that don’t have to be repaid or low-interest loans with deferred repayment to cover down payment or closing costs. Some programs may have income limits, too. Before buying a home, check your state’s housing authority website for more information.
Contact a real estate agent or local HUD-approved housing counseling agency to learn more about first-time homebuyer loans in your area.
