Did you know…
you could buy a home for the same amount of money (or less!) you are paying in rent?
Buying a home is a big investment and an exciting milestone. As a first-time home buyer, you will need some help, and as a Hamra employee, the HERO Fund is here to assist you all the way.
We have partnered with CMG Financial to provide homebuying education and down payment assistance through their HomeFundIt program*, and if eligible, the HERO Fund will match a portion of money raised through the CMG program towards your down payment!
*You may also be eligible for CMG’s BorrowSmart program, which can provide even more down payment assistance!
How Much?
Up to $1000 for Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee.
Up to $1500 for Illinois and Louisiana.
Up to $2500 for Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The HERO Matching grant is paid directly to the lender.
