Would you like to buy a home for 50% of its value? You can if you are a Good Neighbor.
The Good Neighbor Next Door program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can help you do just that.
This program and loan is designed to help revitalize neighborhoods by giving a discount to people that provide essential community services. By encouraging Teachers, Police Officers, Firefighters and EMTs with the Good Neighbor Next Door Program, HUD helps place community role models in these changing neighborhoods.
The 50% discount on the home is tied to a commitment to live in the property for at least 3 years. If you live in the property for the required 3 years all the appreciation is yours. HUD does file a "silent second", no interest or payments due, to secure the terms of the discount. If you qualify for any FHA-insured mortgage program, your Downpayment is only $100 and you may finance the closing costs.
Who is Eligible?
