Did you make a New Year’s resolution for 2010? We did. Nevada Rural Housing Authority (NRHA) resolved to help more Nevadans buy a home of their own! We’ve done this before. Since 2006, we’ve helped over 500 Nevada families purchase their first homes and we’re launching a new program that could help even more. NRHA’s Home at Last™ Bond Program provides the lowest mortgage rates in our history: 5 3/8% with a 3% down payment grant or an unbelievable 4 7/8% without down payment assistance. Imagine the savings: a family buying a $150,000 home will get a free $4,500 cash down payment and a 5 3/8% rate or they can skip the grant and get a mortgage at 4 7/8%. Families can pick an FHA, RHS or VA 30-year fixed mortgage and also take advantage of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit (http://e2ma.net/go/2762497761/2499034/90496801/29357/goto:http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/) through April 30. This is great news, but only if members of our community can take advantage of it. That’s why we need your help. Please share information on this program with; 1) those who may be able to use the program to make a home purchase, 2) realtors or lenders who can share the information with their customers, 3) community leaders and other influencers who can help get the word out.
