So you think you can't afford a home in Austin? Well, yes, things are getting pricey, but not out of reach. If you're on a tight budget and looking to buy your first home, the City of Austin wants to help! They will give you $10,000- $40,000 to help you into a place of your own.

Here are the income qualifications- (you must make under this amount)
- 1 person household - $39,850
- 2 person household - $45,500
- 3 person household - $51,200
- 4 person household - $56,900
- 5 person household - $61,450

Here are the requirements:
- First time homebuyer
- Can't have assets (savings etc) valued at over 1/2 of your income.
- Use one of the trained lenders (they have a big list)
- Get pre-qualified with one the lenders (ie. you qualify for this much house on your measly income, then add $10-$40k to that amount)
- Go to the homebuyer classes
- Homes 1978 and newer qualify for up to $40k
- Homes older than 1978 qualify for up to $10k

How it Works:
- Sign up for the class
-Meet with the lender
-Take the class
-Look for houses
-Find THE ONE
- Put in an offer
- Own a HOME!
