PG County, Maryland Foreclsoures with no closing or down payment!?!

As you may have heard, HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), has been implemented in Prince George's County, Maryland, and the incentives for buying a foreclosure in PG County are STAGGERING!

The goal of the program is to reduce the number of vacant homes in neighborhoods troubled by foreclosures. Through a government funded program (Thanks to the large economic stimulus package), PG County has been allocated $10,883,234 for a program called the "Down Payment Closing Cost Assistance Program" (DPCCA).

If you're looking to buy a foreclosure in PG County, you may qualify!  For a detailed list of qualification requirements, please click here:  Down Payment Assistance for First Time Home Buyers in PG County.  This is going to allow you to purchase your first home with between $1,000-2,000 down, and no closing costs or additional down payment required!  That means some people are actually going to be getting their first home for almost nothing down, AND they can qualify for the $8,000 first time home buyer credit as well!

Keep in mind that this program is not designed to get people loans with serious credit issues.  Your credit and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio's need to allow you to qualify for a traditional mortgage.  This program has been designed for people with good credit, but limited savings.

Will You Need to Pay Back the DPCCA?

You may be required to pay back some or all of the DPCCA Money you receive, depending on how long you live in the home.  The money is treated like an interest free loan, that does not need to be paid back until you sell your home.  Here's the rundown on how much you may owe at settlement:

If you live in the home for:                            % of amount due is:

0-3 years                                                                        100%

3-6 years                                                                         50%

6-9 years                                                                         30%

10+ years                                                                         0%

The longer you live in the house, the more money you save!  When you figure that this program can save you anywhere between $6,000-$20,000, it makes one heck of an argument for buying a foreclosed home!
