down payment assistance: FHLB Grant for NC 1st Time Homebuyers Down Payment Assistance - 01/29/11 12:11 AM
Many people haven't heard of the FHLB (Federal Home Loan Bank) grant program for 1st time home buyers in North Carolina, so I thought I'd share information about this great program.  Similar programs may be available in other states.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this program will be … (9 comments)

There's been a lot of buzz in the real estate and mortgage industries about FHA allowing home buyers to use the $8000 tax credit as a down-payment.  However, in this case the government giveth and the government taketh away!
Tuesday May 12, 2009, in an address to several thousand REALTORS® gathered at "The Real Estate Summit: Advancing the U.S. Economy," at the 2009 REALTORS® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, DC, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said that FHA was going to enable home buyers to access the $8,000 tax credit at closing, so the funds can be used as a down payment.  This was to … (0 comments)
