You can only receive the grant if you are buying property that will be used to help low to moderate-income persons. The grant program is designed to help investors who are buying property.

Does anyone know of any company that provides downpayment grants to investors. I know of companies that provide them for homebuyers who will occupy the home, but none that will help investors.

This would be a great help for investors who are starting out with little cash.

They provide grants to both homebuyers and investors and the program works pretty much like a Nehemiah transaction or any other grant program . In doing my researh, I found that they are the only ones doing it right now. They are very helpfull. I have used them on several deals. They will give up to $10,000 per deal.

There are two catches though.

  1. You can only receive grant funds for homes that you intend to rent to low to moderate income persons.

  2. You will have to use a lender that allows gift contributions from a non-profit.

Other than that, the grant is simple to get.

Good luck…

Most of the sites have a “sellers” section explaining advantages. The quick version is that sellers kick-back up to 6% of the selling price and pay a fee so their buyer can use the funds as a down payment. FHA and other programs will accept gifts from a third-party. The seller will trade the fee for a sale now vs. waiting for another buyer.
