- Law Enforcement Officers, Teachers, Firefighters, and Emergency Responders
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) wants to make American communities stronger, promote home ownership, build a safer nation, and take an active role in the revitalization of cities. The Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) initiative is designed to encourage renewal of revitalization areas by providing law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and teachers an opportunity to purchase homes in these communities.
What Are the Benefits of the GNND program for the Home Buyer / Lottery Winner?
The Lottery winner may purchase the property at a 50 percent discount from the current list price. For example, if the home has a LIST PRICE of $200,000 a participant can buy it for $100,000.
You can apply for any FHA-insured mortgage with a down payment of only $100! You can finance all closing costs, repairs, improvements, appliances and all acquisition expenses using the FHA 203(b), 203(K) or the 203(K) Streamline Mortgage program.
