Don&#8217;t be. Instead,\u00a0check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dhcd.virginia.gov\/index.php\/housing-programs-and-assistance\/68-down-payment-assistance-dpa.html\">Down Payment Assistance<\/a> (DPA) program, which is available through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. If you qualify, this program\u00a0can provide you with gap financing that can\u00a0help\u00a0pay for your down payment. To be eligible for this program:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your income must be at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).<\/li>\n<li>You must finish\u00a0a home ownership counseling course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Under certain circumstances, this program also provides\u00a0up to $2,500 toward\u00a0your closing costs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where Can I Find an Affordable Loan?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" title=\"first time home buyer Virginia\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movoto-foundation\/Foundation+Articles\/2016\/03\/first-time-home-buyer-virginia-incentives-programs-and-grants\/first-time-home-buyer-virginia-incentives-programs-and-grants-2.jpg\" alt=\"first time home buyer Virginia\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vhda.com\/Homebuyers\/VHDAHomeLoans\/Pages\/VHDAHomeLoans.aspx#.VujRc5wrLIV\">Virginia Housing Development Authority<\/a> has\u00a0numerous home mortgage loans available for potential first-time\u00a0buyers.\u00a0To be eligible for one of these low, fixed-rate loans, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be buying your first home. The exception is if the property is located in one of Virginia&#8217;s\u00a0Areas of Economic Opportunity\u00a0where the state is trying to encourage growth<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Be credit-worthy<\/li>\n<li>Show proof of a stable income<\/li>\n<li>Meet the income and sales price limits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>I&#8217;m a Public Servant.

For instance, Loudoun County employees\u00a0who want to purchase their first home\u00a0can apply for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loudoun.gov\/index.aspx?nid=1800\">Public Employee Homeownership Grant Program (PEG)<\/a>. This grant is for\u00a0$10,000 and must be used to purchase a house within Loudoun County. The best thing about this loan? Twenty\u00a0percent of the loan is forgiven each year over a five-year period as long as you don&#8217;t sell or move out of the house you purchase through this program. And you must also remain employed by Loudoun County, as well. These loans are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On a first-come, first serve basis<\/li>\n<li>Available to employees with a gross household income that falls between 30 and 70 percent of the AMI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other Virginia counties offer similar programs, but you will need to check the eligibility requirements of each, as they may differ.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are There Cheaper or Lease-to-Own Homes\u00a0Available for First-Time Buyers?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some counties in Virginia have set aside affordably priced\u00a0as well as lease-to-own houses\u00a0for first-time home buyers. For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fairfaxcounty.gov\/rha\/homeownership\/fthbprogram.htm\">Fairfax County<\/a>, which is one of the richest counties in the United States, offers townhomes and condominiums that are priced well below the sales price of similar housing in the same community for potential first time buyers. Of course, you must\u00a0meet certain requirements, which include\u00a0but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having a household income of at least $25,000 but that is below a certain limit set by the county.<\/li>\n<li>Having a credit score of 640 or higher<\/li>\n<li>No bankruptcies for at least two years and absolutely no foreclosures on your record<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, you\u00a0must attend a first-time home buyers orientation and education classes, get a conditional loan approval and attend a group application session. Once you complete these steps, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is a\u00a0drawing and an open house for each of the homes that will be sold through this program. To be eligible to purchase one of these properties, you must attend the home&#8217;s open house with your\u00a0Certificate of Eligibility and enter the drawing.<\/p>\n<p>In Roanoke,\u00a0residents\u00a0can become first-time homeowners through a different type of program. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rkehousing.org\/housing\/homeownership\/where-do-i-begin\">Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA)\u00a0<\/a>offers a Lease\/Purchase Program to its low-to-moderate-income\u00a0residents who live in RRHA\u00a0Public Housing and Section 8 programs. The homes that are available through this program are brand-new.\u00a0Interested candidates must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn at least $18,000 a year<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate an excellent rental history<\/li>\n<li>Have an acceptable credit report<\/li>\n<li>Be able to purchase the house within the next three years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What if I&#8217;m Receiving Rental Vouchers? Are there Programs for Me? \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yes. If you\u00a0receive vouchers to help\u00a0pay for your monthly rent, you might be able to\u00a0qualify for the <a href=\"http:\/\/portal.hud.gov\/hudportal\/HUD?src=\/states\/pennsylvania\/homeownership\/vouchers\">Homeownership Voucher Program<\/a>, which was started by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). With this program, you can use your\u00a0vouchers to help pay for a\u00a0mortgage on your first home\u00a0instead of having it go towards\u00a0rent. You will, however,\u00a0need to check with your local jurisdiction to see if they offer this program as it is available in some, but not all areas.\u00a0Prince William County in Northern Virginia, for example, offers this program. Also, area housing authorities differ in the way they administer the program but, in general, to qualify, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be purchasing your first home<\/li>\n<li>Be using rental-housing vouchers or have applied for the voucher program<\/li>\n<li>Meet a minimum income standard and have at least one adult family member who is working full time. You\u00a0might\u00a0also be able to qualify if one of your family members\u00a0is elderly or has a disability.<\/li>\n<li>Complete a homeownership counseling program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2 Point Highlight<\/h2>\n<p>The truth, however, is that there are a number of incentives, programs and grants available that can help a first time home buyer in Virginia bring this dream to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty percent of the loan is forgiven each year over a five-year period as long as you don&#8217;t sell or move out of the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For most people, buying a house\u00a0is the\u00a0American dream.
