What if we told you that being a first-time home buyer meant you qualified for a host of down payment assistance programs, and wouldn’t have to put any money down when you purchase a home? If you think that’s too good to be true, think again. We at The My Home Mortgage Team are here to inform you of all of the great financial assistance programs you have as a first-time home buyer. We will take the time to understand you and your needs, and then give you the tools and resources you need to reap the benefits of the many down payment assistance programs offered in D.C. Here’s an outline of a few of the programs available:
