Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I glossed over all the stuff I found, but I've been hearing about Nehamiah for a loooong time. Probably a bit unfair to hang much of the bubble on them, but like anything else probably has been abused. There is a 'program fee' that I would bet some quasi-charitable groups abused. According to one blog I saw the courts slapped down the action by HUD permanently, so I think DPA (Down Payment Assistance) programs are still going strong. I think the HUD Sec'y may be certafiable.......he's gotten himself into all sorts of scraps. Supposedly these programs are for folks with good credit and adequate ratios, but still highly leveraged and property must appraise over asking price in OP's case.
