Wow Joe, that is great! As a Realtor, I have many MN first time home buyers who have the capacity to buy a home, especially with today's lower home loan prices, but they have been locked out of the market because they lack a down payment.
It's nice to see this Affordable Advantage program come to MN. It is also encouraging to see that the program requires a respecible credit score and home buyer education. Two items that should dramatically help people buy a new home but yet keep us away from the crazy lending - give everyone a home practices of a few years back.
Affordable Advantage - I'm sending all those clients to you over at Mortgages Unlimted.
