What if we told you that you could own a home for less than what you paid for your last security deposit? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, just ask Holly and John—two recent homebuyers who turned their dreams into reality with the help of down payment assistance and smart negotiation strategies.
- Holly thought homeownership was out of reach—until she learned about assistance programs that helped her buy a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home with just $2,400 upfront.
- John was tired of renting and decided to see what was possible. He ended up purchasing a one-bedroom condo with only $1,100 up-front out of pocket!
