NIB is an initiative aimed at providing an affordable homeownership opportunity, with preference for, but not limited to, new, existing or past residents as well as first time homebuyers. Purchase price of the homes vary between $10,000 and $15,000 based on condition, cost and amount of repairs the home needs. We allow sweat equity to be used to complete repairs; this means if you have a licensed contractor in your family who you would like to use to do repairs, we will honor their bid as long as they provide their license and pull proper permits. We also allow you, as the homeowner, to do some cosmetic work yourself such as refinishing hardwood floors or painting. If you are interested in purchasing a home for low cost, repairing the home so that it is brought up to code, and living in the home for at least 3 years then this program is for you!
