7 First Time Home Buyer Grants For 2024

[@kaalaraa]

I have been scouring the internet left and right with no help whatsoever. Thank you so much, you have been more than helpful 🙌🏻💗

[@TheBgirlG]

This was so helpful! I am buying my first home this 2023, and it’s so scary with how the interest rate has gone up and cost of living feels like no one (in my generation) can buy a home or start a family. Please continue on making these helpful videos!

[@NicoleNark]

You got this! 😊🙌

[@chadhall3846]

Wait til spring, my lender thinks that rates will be going down to about 4%. I’m buying a house as well, scary stuff! But so exciting

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Please pay attention to Nicole’s comment about an emergency fund. Many, many homebuyers find issues despite a home inspection. Even with an insurance policy to cover the first year, there are deductibles and/or depreciation in most policies. Taxes or insurance can go up. You need the cushion.

[@NicoleNark]

@@kenyonbissett3512 thanks for reiterating this point! It’s essential for home buying success! 🙌🏻

[@yolandawindycitylife731]

I like to say thank you I saw your video on first time home grants and I got approved so thank you

[@NicoleNark]

Fantastic!

[@darnellcapriccioso]

Great video! For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.

[@maiadazz]

@Craig Daniels Given current recession pressures, it is unlikely that the stock will yield substantial returns in the near term. However, it may be a suitable investment opportunity. I will monitor market conditions and consider purchasing when there is an improvement in the relevant economic indicators, any idea which stocks this may be?

[@tatianastarcic]

@Craig Daniels You are right! I diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 750k in net profit within 2 years across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so glad to hear that the video was helpful

[@awildflowerr]

Do you know if there are options to stack multiple grants? I would like to utilize as many as possible to have a healthy equity from the jump but it seems like most are tied to the loan

[@mckaylataylor6463]

I'm wondering the same thing. Could you do partial loans with multiple to maximize grants? On the ones that are tied to the loans.

[@mthlay15]

Thanks! I'm meeting with a lender tomorrow. I'll bring these up.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Thank you! Very clear explanations with enough details for people to see if they might qualify. People also need to know, in cases I missed you saying it, they must live in their home for a year under FHA and most regular bank loans. If you sign the document saying you will and don’t, you can be brought up on Federal fraud charges. There are some exceptions, but buying another home as an investment isn’t one.

[@gatesabebe1329]

This is the most valuable information. Very appreciated your clarification and help.

[@lla77]

I love the video that you did about a year ago on the usda requirements. It was greatly detailed mentioning many different aspects. Like how many tradelines you would need mong many other good points. Can you do a video on the fha and there detailed requirements. You do awesome work. Thank you in advance.

If co signer is not on the deed as part owner, just that a co signer will their income, DTI, & all of that matter if they have owned 1 hour or 20? My bf bought a house and him & his mom & lender all ignored and said he doesnt qualify for any program i mentioned.

[@allpharaohcious]

Love your content, thanks for sharing your valuable insights! What I’ve noticed is no program ever mentions “new construction,” and I’m perplexed as to why… owning a lot, and wishing to build on it, doesn’t mean you’re well off, and isn’t easier to finance, especially if you owe on the land, yet even energy tax credits are specifically excluding new construction, giving no incentive to build green from scratch? Just seems like there’s an entire sector being neglected. Curious on your thoughts, or maybe programs do exist that I’m oblivious to? Look forward to some feedback :) Thank you!

So let’s say I have 25k to drop for a down payment would I still qualify to get even more from a grant? Or is that wishful thinking.

[@NicoleNark]

Most of these are going to be need specific. If you have the money, it usually isn't advantageous due to the increased costs that may be associated with grants. Also, if they know you have the money, you might not qualify to begin with.
