Real Estate Agents
Minnesota Housing loan programs can help homeownership dreams become a reality. Real estate agents can assist qualified homebuyers in learning about and accessing the loan programs we have available.
First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program is Closed
Minnesota Housing's First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program funds have been exhausted and the program is now closed. We are unable to accept any more First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Commitments.
If you’d like to explore additional DPA resources that may be available for your clients, check out our other Homeownership Programs on our website and the Minnesota Homeownership Center website. There are several first-generation homebuyer programs still available, such as the First-Generation Homebuyers Community Down Payment Assistance Fund.
Minnesota Housing would like to thank all our partners for participating in the Minnesota Housing’s First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program and contributing to its success!
Is Minnesota Housing's program the same as the First-Generation Homebuyers Community Down Payment Assistance Fund?
Minnesota Housing's First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program is different from the First-Generation Homebuyers Community Down Payment Assistance Fund. Borrowers cannot combine Minnesota Housing's First-Generation Homebuyer Loan with the First-Generation Homebuyers Community Down Payment Assistance Fund. The goal of both programs is to help more first-generation homebuyers access homeownership.
