Home Ownership Resources
There are several down payment assistance programs available for homes located in the City of Tucson as well as other areas within Pima County. Below is a list of a few programs that you could potentially be eligible for & a lender can help you determine your eligibility and what your buying power is.
When it comes to determining how much home you can afford, it is important to find a lender that helps you figure out what realistically fits your budget & what programs best suit your needs. If you are ready to consider homeownership, or you want to see if you are eligible for assistance, we encourage you to discuss your possible eligibility with our mortgage professional Michael Rohde with Altitude Home Loans. He can help you determine if you qualify and what steps to take next.
