Minnesota First Time Home Buyer Grants

So, you are considering the purchase of a home in Minnesota. Purchasing a home in any state is an exciting prospect! Exciting and sometimes daunting!

Grant money is like receive a package gift wrapped with money.

Before we get to the topic of Minnesota first time home buyer grants, I would like to give you some fun facts about your chosen state. (If you are relatively new to Minnesota, I don't want you to look too much like a tourist!) These facts were obtained from the official State of Minnesota website.

• The "world-renowned photograph 'Grace', depicting an elderly man bowing his head and giving thanks, taken in Bovey, Minnesota, in 1918, by Eric Enstrom,is designated as the State Photograph."

• The "rare Pink and White Lady Slipper" is the State Flower of Minnesota and the State Tree is the "Red Pine, commonly known as the Norway Pine".

• Minnesota's State Muffin, adopted in 1988, is the blueberry muffin and the State Drink is milk, designated in 2004. (Sounds like a good combination to me!)

• The "unusually beautiful quartz Lake Superior Agate is Minnesota's State Gemstone."

• Minnesota's State Fish is the Walleye. "Its common name comes from the fact that their eyes, like those of cats, reflect light."

First Time Home Buyer Grant Minnesota

To begin with, unfortunately, the State of Minnesota does not offer a Minnesota first time home buyer grant program for its residents.

Other Home Mortgage Grants

However, the good news is that the federal government does offer grant assistance for first time home buyers in Minnesota. This program is maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called the Homes and Communities program.

Their website contains useful information and applications. The website for the grant program maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development can be visited by using this link, HUD Grant Information..

Another website I would recommend that you view is Government Grants. This website offers a list of all federal government grant programs. It would be a good idea to take some time and browse through this site to see what it offers and the qualifications for application.

Don’t forget the importance of your credit score. Even if you qualify for a grant, you still have to qualify for a loan. See my information on credit repair made easy if you need help.

If you don’t qualify for a grant you may qualify for down payment assistance. They are sometimes easier to obtain.
