There are many great incentives to attract first time home buyers, aside from the fact that it may well be the largest and most profitable investment a lifetime.

First of all, the TERM is used loosely, for example, in addition to the young couple or person who really is buying their first home, others do qualify:

"The applicant must be a first-time homebuyer, which is defined as not having owned a home during the three-year period prior to the purchase under this program. A displaced homemaker or a single parent may not be excluded from consideration as a first-time homebuyer on the basis that the individual, while married, owned a home with their spouse or resided in a home owned by the spouse. The household cannot own nor have an interest in any other real estate at the time of purchase. Co-signers who will not live in the home are not allowed." 1
