Keith Connors May 23rd

DeSantis’ List Of Hometown Heroes For $100 Million Dollar Housing Assistance. The governor announced the new program for “hometown heroes” like nurses, police officers, teachers and more to help pay for a place to live during this crazy housing crisis. This is a good program that may help first time buyers with up to 5% of the first mortgage loans up to $25,000. This money can be used to help with down payments, closing costs on new homes. The assistance comes in form of a 0% deferred 2nd mortgage. It’s a good deal and will help so many be able to live near where they actually work.
