Are you considering the purchase of a home in Nebraska? Purchasing a home in
any state is an exciting prospect! Exciting and sometimes daunting!
Before we get to the topic of first time home buyer grants, I would like to give
you some fun facts about your chosen state. (If you are relatively new to
Nebraska, I don't want you to look too much like a tourist!) These facts were
obtained from the State of Nebraska's official website.
"The Hall brothers, founders of Hallmark cards, came from Norfolk."
Sounds like a good place to settle down, drink some Kool-Aid, become a pilot and
mail some anniversary cards from!
If Nebraska is your choice, read on for information related to the Nebraska
first time home buyer grants program.
To begin with, the State of Nebraska does offer a Nebraska first time home buyer
grant program for its residents. This is good news because not all states are
able to offer assistance to first time home buyers. The state agency which
maintains Nebraska's first time home buyer grant program is the Nebraska
Investment Finance Authority. Nebraska offers one type of grant. This grant is
in reality a loan which turns into a grant. While many states offer a 3% grant,
Nebraska offers a program where up to 4.25% of the first mortgage amount may be received. You should visit
http://www.nifa.org/ to determine your eligibility.
In addition, the federal government offers grant assistance for first time home
buyers in Nebraska. 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 clicking HUD Grant Information.
Another website I would recommend that you Visit is the 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.
