NC home buyers who qualify for government backed loans like FHA, VA and USDA can now likely also qualify for financial help with their down payment.  A new program sponsored by The NC Housing Finance Agency (a self-supporting state agency) provides down payment help up to 3% of the value of the home being purchased.  Have you heard anyone saying lately that they would love to buy a home but they can’t afford the down payment?  This program could be the answer they have been looking for.  This program helps qualified buyers purchase a home using an FHA loan and pay only 0.5% down instead of the normal 3.5% down.  For a $150,000 home, this saves the buyer $4500 in down payment expenses and the program is streamlined to ensure it does not cause delays in closing.
