Cedar Grove First Time Home Buyers
From LoveToKnow Mortgage
No matter which Cedar Grove you live in – whether it's in New Jersey, Georgia, or any of the many other Cedar Groves peppered throughout the country – you can find an appropriate Cedar Grove first time home buyers program to suit your needs.
HUD Programs
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the best resource for valuable first time home buyer resources. To find the best program for your Cedar Grove area, visit the First Time Home Buyers page on the HUD website. After selecting your location you will be presented with the various programs available to residents within your state. Typical programs approved by HUD and available to first time home buyers include:
- FHA Mortgage Guarantee: The Federal Housing Administration offers mortgage loan guarantee services to applicants. Although FHA does not fund mortgage loans, an FHA guarantee may allow Cedar Grove first time home buyers to receive a mortgage which they may not have otherwise qualified for.
- Downpayment Assistance and Grants: Various programs offered through HUD and other approved organizations give monetary assistance to mortgage applicants. Qualifying factors may include:
- The applicant's income
- The location of the home
- The profession of the applicant
Keep in mind that for many HUD programs an applicant is not excluded from first time home buyer programs if he or she once owned a home. For many programs, as long as the applicant hasn't owned a home in a certain amount of years, the first time home buyer programs are available.

No matter what state you reside in, be sure that any first-time home buyer program you use is not just a tricky way of finagling your down payment into a higher interest loan. It is preferable to explore an FHA or VA program if you are eligible before looking into first time homebuyer programs sponsored by lenders. The majority of lender programs are beneficial, but some less scrupulous lenders disguise sub-prime mortgage loans as special programs for first time home buyers.
