Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance

Are you wanting to purchase your dream home in the Pinellas - Hillsborough or Pasco county area, but you have limited funds for a down payment we can help you?. The county and the city offer the down payment assistance program with an FHA government-insured loan, giving your family the opportunity to become homeowners.

If you currently own a home you can still use the program in the Pinellas County (as long your previous property is rented).

We can help you get your dream home! We help you get the following:

(1) Down Payment Assistance Program from your county or city that will help you purchase your home with very little down payment.

(2) We also provide you with the FHA or conventional financing for the home.

(3) We will recommend an experienced real estate agent in down payment assistance properties, to help you find your dream home.

In the event your credit scores are too low - we help you fix your credit - free of charge for our clients.

We offer 3 ways you can purchase a home with almost no money out of pocket, using:

(1) County or City Down Payment requires 1% to 2% from your pocket depending on the property location.

(2) 3.5% FHA Loan and requesting 6% seller concessions, requires 3.5% from your pocket the property can be anywhere in Florida.

(3) Combo Loans: The 1st loan covers 96.5% + 2nd loan covers 3.5% + 6% seller concessions, requires $800 from your pocket the property can be anywhere in Florida.

Credit repair: we dont charge for the service, you only pay $25 for your credit report.
