1st Time Home Buyer Grants in Florida

When looking to own your own home, rest assured that there are 1st time home buyers programs available through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

Florida Housing’s First Time Homebuyer Program offers not only 30year, fixed rate first mortgage programs for 1st time home buyers buy also offers down payment assistance (only available to borrowers who utilize one of Florida Housing’s First Mortgage programs), to first time buyers who meet the requirements. While it is always the worry where to get the best possible home loans, first time buyers do have options with these programs and could get into their own home for very little down.

Requirements to qualify include completing a home buyer education course and meet Florida Housing’s minimum FICO requirement. The home buyer education course is generally provided free of charge. Your real estate agent should be able to provide more information about purchase limits in your county, provide you with a list of Florida Housing approved loan officers or even better introduce you to such an approved loan officer. He/she should also be able to provide you with information on where and when you can attend the free buyer education training required.
