SRBC Car Show, May 2nd
April 27th, 2009 Categories: Lilburn, Things to do
As one door closes, another opens in its place.
As I started to look over upcoming events, I ran across a blurb that the Snellville Days ‘Orphan Vehicle Association’ Car Show had been canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” I have no idea what those circumstances might be, and I hope that the OVA is able to recover and present the show again next year.

Have you heard of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Georgia Dream NSP Purchase Plan?
In effect it can provide $14,000 to qualified buyers of qualified properties that can be used as down payment or for re-hab of the purchased property. And, if the buyer is a First Time Home Buyer, they may also be eligible for the federal tax credit of $8,000.
Here are some of the qualifications (from the DCA website):
- Buyer must recieve 8 hours of HUD approved home buyer counseling/education.
- Eligible income level for Gwinnett County for a family of four is $85,450. Smaller or larger families will have slightly different income limits.
- Buyer must use a participating lender.
- Property must be foreclosed and owned by HUD, VA, USDA, bank, governmental entity or eligible non-profit.
The $14,000 is delivered as a 2nd mortgage with no payment or interest, and is fogiven in stages over a 5 ½ year period.
The money will likely run out before the program’s scheduled end in June, 2010.

HUD American Dream $100 Down Program
April 2nd, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, Lilburn
Seriously! I actually was going to write about this yesterday, but didn’t want to release something this important on April Fool’s Day… Because this is NO JOKE.

HUD has a $100 Down Payment Program that is available on specific homes and through specific lenders. I have one of those lenders programmed in my phone… So, while the rates are amazingly low, prices have come down and the inventories are still generous, this is the time to take advantage of this kind of program.
Home ownership is the foundation of the American Dream. Being able to have a home to call your own is one of the greatest things this country offers, and even as the housing bubble burst, many have been looking for a way to own their own piece of the American dream…
If you want to take advantage of this program, Ken Cook at Novation Mortgage should be your first call, and I should be your second.
I look forward to hearing from you.
