Hey!
  • Have you ever thought about buying a home but didn’t know where to begin?
  • Have you ever wondered what resources were out there for first time home buyers in Portland?
  • Has down payment, closing costs or other financial components kept you from achieving your goal of home ownership?

Well, have you heard the news?! The City Of Portland is helping first time home buyers with down payment assistance loans. 

Down Payment Assistance Loans award amounts can be up to $80,000 – $100,000 and include the opportunity for total loan forgiveness. That’s right, the city of Portland is helping qualified first time home buyers with financial opportunities to make home ownership a realty.
