Does anyone know anything about getting a first time home owners grant? My father told me about his friends son getting one but didn't know any details or how he got it/who he got it through. I've been trying to find something using google but I'm having no luck.
SONYMA is a great program in our state. Find a lender near you, or close at least, and give them call. They will take you step by step through everything you need to do. Here's the web site...........

Search google for "Rural Opportunities" they have a great first time homebuyers deal it requires taking a class but they will walk you through the homebuying process every step of the way. They also have grant money available.
Yes! I am a real estate agent and certain cities have 1st time homeowner grants, the one I am thinking of in my area is $10,000. You must agree to stay there for 7 years and I think spend the money usually in the first 6 months of the purchase. You can spend it on what you think is necessary or cosmetic, it is up to you. Feel free to email me if you have specific questions. The city you are thinking of moving to would have the info, and a mortgage consultant in the area. Good luck!
I did not google that but I did a search as "home owners grant" and got all kinds of web sites, which i did look at. We are also looking to buy are first home. There is such thing called first time home buyers where you need not have money down and do not have to pay for points. (im learning about the point thing). Good Luck
A friend of mine got a grant through HUD, at least that's what I believe she said. It was through the USDA. Good luck.
