Are there grants I can apply for that would give me the money for the down payment and closing costs of purchasing a home in Scranton, Pa.? We are retired, been discharged on our Chapter 7 bankruptcy and lost a home in the bankruptcy. We are trying to start over again and want to live where our daughter attends collage.

Enclosed is a link to the City Of Scranton OECD. You can download the form from here. Please be aware there are certain income guidelines you must ahere to. This grant can pay some closing costs and match your down payment dollar for dollar. There are restrictions. Feel free to contact me for more info. Good luck.

Hi Victorine:

I am a full time agent in the Scranton area. Please feel free to give me a call and we can go over a consumer notice I have attached a link for your review, (http://www.dos.state.pa.us/bpoa/LIB/bpoa/20/10/recconsnotice.pdf.)
Then we can look over a Buyers Agent contract. I would suggest you not disclose your personal financial information until you have a buyers agent contract with an agent who is working for you.
