I’m looking into the first time homebuyers programs. I’m not really getting any actual answers.
Does anyone here know the exact qualifications? I heard that Jackson and TR aren’t a low-Med income areas so you wouldn’t qualify either way.
Can someone share some info?

Some programs won’t lend if you’re buying in Jackson. Take the course offered by LRRC, they give it pretty often. It’s $30, a couple of hours, includes one on one consultation, and is the best way to get all of the info you want.

I dont know what program you are referring too but that is not true with a Santander program . Lrrc has worked with many toms river/jackson houses.

True, my friend bought in Brookwood 1 through Santander 1st time home buyer program. But it is true that many programs won't touch there.

Contact LRRC I'm sure they can help you.

But FWIW, my friend used a mortgage broker who did all of the legwork and found the program directly, Sinai Susholz from FM Home Loans https://www.fmm.com/profiles/sinai-susholz

As I have stated upthread I do not believe you will necessarily save money by going direct but it also can't hurt, assuming he's easy to deal with
