Say Hello to Your New Home

Interested in buying a home but not sure if you have enough funds saved up?

Let the Florida Down Payment Assistance Program Help

Do I Have Enough Money Saved Up to Buy a Home?

Most Buyers are unsure of the answer to this question. The Housing Finance Authority First-time Homebuyer Program can be a great tool in achieving the dream of buying a home.

 

If you are a first-time homebuyer, have not owned a home in the past 3 years, or are a veteran, you may qualify for up to $15,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance.

 

The program offers a deferred, non-amortizing, 0% interest, second mortgage that is only repayable when you sell or refinance the property, satisfy the first mortgage, rent or no longer occupy the property as a primary residence.
