Are you renting in Portage, Texas Township, or near Western Michigan University right now?
Yesterday, a buyer walked into my office who was convinced they were stuck renting for another year. They had great jobs, solid credit, and plenty of income to cover a monthly mortgage payment. But they flinched when they thought about saving up cash for closing.
They asked me, “Jeremy, isn’t there any state program that actually helps real buyers with cash at closing?”
Look For Some Down Payment Assistance?
