  Nehemiah programs are just one form of a down payment assistance program. You can use these in conjunction with FHA loans. There are other down payment assistance programs such as AmeriDream, Genesis, and a few others. Lately I have been reading a few blogs that state that these down payment assistance programs are like laundering money. Okay....  I'll talk about this in a few. Other blogs have talked about how bad the Nehemiah program in itself is bad. The reason why is because it's more expensive than other DPA programs. Okay?  I'll talk about this soon also.     So, what about those that say these DPA's are like money laundering. Well, HUD says that you, the borrower, can get 100% of your monies gifted to you. These gifts can come from a family member or a non-profit organization. ... 06/06/2008

 The township will solicit bids for a company to revalue the assessed value of private properties in the township.   Mayor George Chidley said as of 2006 the ratio of assessed values to true market values was at 59 percent. He said if that number had gone much lower, the county would probably have stepped in and forced the township to conduct a revaluation.   "This is an example of us being proactive and taking care of it now before we're in that position," he said.   Mayor Chidley said the earliest the revaluation could be completed is 2009. The process will involve about two years of field work, he said, before new assessed values for private properties are determined.   The need for the revaluation came because many residents are either paying too much in taxes or too little due to a... 07/22/2007
