I have a small family of three and a fur baby. Renting seems to be about the same cost as buying these days. But buying a house seems just out of reach still. I’m hoping someone has ideas on down payment assistance that you may not have to pay back or grants that can help make purchasing a feasible option for us. Not trying to buy much just hoping for at least a $250,000 house in my area which is the extreme low end for a two bed one bath home. Mobile home is not an option according to the mortgage broker we were speaking to.

First time home buyer here! The average 2bed 1bath house in my area (that isn’t in pieces) starts about 300K. My spouse and I make about 5000 a month after taxes. We have car payments and childcare expenses that make our budget EXTREMELY tight. Any ideas of grants that could help us out?? All help is appreciated!!!
