FLORIDA HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE OF $8,000.00

Liz DeAmbrose, Coldwell Banker

DO YOU WANT YOUR $8,000.00 BEFORE YOU BUY A HOME?

Florida is giving buyers the $8,000.00 tax credit money up front. How do you get it now? You must be a first time home buyer.  If you are single or head of household the maximum income is $75,000.00 and married it’s $150,000.00 per year. You must attend a County-sponsored homebuyer class in order to receive assistance, and before you sign a contract to buy a home.  You can buy a single family home, condo, villa, manufactured or mobile home. These homes can be new or existing but the price must not exceed $240,000.00.

To apply for assistance, you must apply through one of the partner financial institutions that have signed agreements with the County. Lenders must agree to certain requirements of the program. When you apply for a mortgage loan at one of these financial institutions, they will make an initial determination on whether you are eligible for HOP funds. If you are they will reserve funds in your name with the Community Development Div.  You do not apply through the County for these funds. There is a limited amount of money for each County. The buyer is required to put a minimum of $500.00 of their own money into the purchase.
