If buying your first home in Cook County is on your radar, don't wait until July 20 to start the paperwork.
The Cook County Down Payment Assistance Program reopens July 20, with only $2 million available this round. Eligible buyers may receive up to 5% of their mortgage amount to help with the upfront cost of buying a home.
The funds could move quickly. Getting pre-approved now means you'll know your budget and be ready when the program opens.
Comment "COOK" below, and I'll send you the details-what's your biggest obstacle right now: the down payment, the monthly payment, or not knowing where to start?
