5 Comments on FHA down payment assistance loans almost GONE.
Toni, just a reminder VA is still coming in at 100% and No mortgage insurance, just the VA funding fee - that can be financed and this is waved if the veteran is disabled.
I also looked up the Housing authority for your state - we have one here in Missouri as well that provides down payment assitance in the form of bond loans, my best advice is to get with a lender that is on the South Carolina web site and ask that person questions regarding the home loan program for first time home buyers and get one with experience.
The link for South Carolina programs is as follows :

Darren, Thank you for the great info. I will check it out.
100% are going the way of loch ness, they have been given the bad rap and most people took it hook line and sinker

There is a bill introduced on July 31 that would reinstate downpayment assistance. The FHA Seller-Financed Downpayment Reform and Risk-Based Pricing Authorization Act of 2008 (H.R. 6694) will allow downpayment assistance to continue indefinitely.
Visit www.DPAGroundSwell.org , a web-based community established to mobilize the growing industry opposition to the October 1 ban on seller-funded downpayment assistance.
