Receiving any type of grants is like receiving a gift of money in a red bow.

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 North Dakota, I don't want you to look too much like a tourist!) These facts were obtained from the State of North Dakota's official website.

• North Dakota's state motto is "Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable".

• The state flower of North Dakota is the Wild Prairie Rose and the state tree is the American Elm.

• The Western Meadowlark is the state bird of North Dakota and the state fish is the Northern Pike.

• The Chokecherry is North Dakota's state fruit and the state beverage is milk. (It does a body good!)

• North Dakota's state flag has a dark blue field with a "bald eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its claws".

If North Dakota is your choice, read on for information related to the North Dakota first time home buyer grants program.

First Time Home Buyer Grants North Dakota

To begin with, the State of North Dakota does offer a North Dakota 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 North Dakota's first time home buyer grant program is the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency. North Dakota offers one type of grant. This grant is called the "Start Program". Whether you qualify or not will depend on the amount of your income. This grant can provide up to three percent (3%) of the mortgage amount on a first home. You should visit this site to determine your eligibility.

Other Home Mortgage Grants

In addition, the federal government offers grant assistance for first time home buyers in North Dakota. 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 Visit 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.
