I'm pretty sure that ended in April 2010. There might be some through a builder, but I think now if they do that, they have to offer it to everyone. Predatory Lending Laws as they are now.

Someone on here works or worked for a lender. They can better asnwer this question. I know when I bought my condo in December of 2010 they had been over for like 6 months.

Real Estate agent told me that the state of north carolina got some deals for first time home buyers through certain programs. Also, I heard some banks would offer up to $5,000 in cash if I'd use em as my lander.

Usually the cash offers from the bank are tied to higher rates. You can get negative closing costs if you take a higher than market rate on teh mortgage.

Just watch the fine print and ask a lot of questions.

Dude, I'm not kidding, you need to get a good real estate agent.

Not a friend, parent, buddy or cousin, a good agent, if it's not too late in your transaction.

If you don't have a buyers agent by now, your builder will most likely not pay one, and you would have to pay them. If that's the case, then it's just too late.

Not any programs out there really as far as first time buyers.

As for the banks, you need to shop around and get a good deal, if you don't have the $$$ for closing costs, roll it into the cost of the home. If the house was 200K, and you have 4,500 in CC, make the sale price 204,500 and have your portion come out of the closing.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
