If you are a teacher or an emergency first responder -- including police officers, firefighters, EMT workers, and correctional officers -- South Carolina wants to help you buy a home!
The 2010 Palmetto Heroes Program now has $40 million in aid to help the states's heroes buy a home, including
- up to $7,000 in down payment assistance
- a low interest rate of 5.125%
Borrowers must meet South Carolina's first-time home buyer requirements. Note that qualifications for state aid vary and income restrictions apply.
First-time home buyers who purchase before April 30 can also take advantage of the federal tax credit incentives -- when you combine both programs, that's as much as $15,000 in assistance to help you buy your home!
Loans are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You must have an accepted sales contract on a home before you can reserve funds, so call me today for help finding the home of your dreams -- it has never been more affordable!
