Bond Money Now Available in Louisiana!

The last issue of the year is now available. This is a State Bond Issue which means it can be used in any of the 64 parishes. The bond will allow you to buy a home at a reduced interest rate and will give you 4% of the sales price to use towards your closing cost/down payment. Most of my bond buyers chose the FHA (3% down payment) or the Rural Developement (no down payment) and the 4% assistance covers most of the closing cost and prepaid items. Typically my buyers do not bring any money to the closing table!

Below is a brief breakdown of the criteria for the State bond:

1. FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER RULE IS WAIVED!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER!

2. HOME MOST BE LOCATED IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
