What is Hometown Heroes?
The Florida Hometown Heroes Housing Program helps first-time, income-qualified homebuyers in community-focused jobs afford a primary residence near their workplace. It offers below-market interest rates, reduced fees, and no origination or discount points on FHA, VA, RD, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac loans.
Eligible full-time workers employed by Florida-based employers may also receive up to 5% of the loan amount (max $35,000) for down payment and closing costs through a 0% interest, 30-year deferred second mortgage. This assistance must be repaid if the home is sold, refinanced, or no longer used as a primary residence.
Because Local Love Matters
At the end of the day, it's the people who define a place. One of the best parts of our job as a real estate agent is helping great people put roots down in The Florida Keys community. Right now there is a variety of downpayment assistance programs for qualified borrowers and many of them are stackable meaning you can qualify AND use multiple programs for the same purchase.
Timing
Homeownership typically doesn't happen overnight. There is much planning and number crunching involved to be sure that we are able to match our buyers with their perfect home. Sometimes that takes 6 days, sometimes 6 months, and sometimes 6 years! But at ShineGroup we are in it for the long haul, we are a relationship based real estate team that aims to make the path to homeownership easy and attainable.
