There are many would be first timers who would love to buy a home but lack the 3.5% down payment needed. What many first time home buyers don't know is that there are several programs available to help them.

HUD homes

HUD homes only require a $100 Down Payment plus HUD allows for up to 3% of the purchase price be used for your closing costs.

USDA Rural Development Loans

Loans backed by the USDA don't require a down payment. The only kicker is that the home must be in a rural development area. Gardner, Stilwell and Spring Hill in Kansas and Blue Spring and Grain Valley in Missouri. The good thing is that more properties qualify than you think.

MHDC

The MHDC is a bond fund that gifts down payments in Missouri. They have several programs for first time homebuyers. The MHDC does have income restriction based on family size but is a great program.

If you are down payment challenged let my team of lenders show how to use one of these great program help you become a home owner.
