Absolutely! Programs to assist with down payment and closing costs vary depending on where the person is looking to purchase. Potential home owners can contact the housing services agency to learn what programs might be available.
April 26, 2018
In addition to the downpayment, total out-of-pocket costs to buy a home can easily run 6% to 8% of the purchase price, factoring in things like prepaying for a homeowners insurance policy and funding escrow accounts for taxes and more. That said, there are state-backed programs that can provide assistance to potential homebuyers with downpayment and funds for closing costs. These typically come in the form of low- or no-interest second mortgage loans but sometimes in the form of outright, no repayment grants, and may cover some or all of the up-front costs needed to purchase a home. Regardless, good financial habits are key to successful homeownership. The ability to save, budget and plan for future expenses are needed skills, and the homebuyer education courses that often accompany these offers are a great place to start.

Thank you! As a financial counselor I have been working on trying to get everyone in my county to have an emergency fund of at least $500.00. Start small, but dream big. Sarah

This is not a common disease in sabal palms, and it is most likely to occur on recently transplanted sabal palms because some degree of trunk wounding typically occurs during handling.

Palm trees grown in the landscape appear carefree, but they are susceptible to many diseases, insects and nutritional problems. Avoid many of these problems by following the recommended cultural practices that help keep plants healthy and vigorous. More information on how to grow outdoor palms successfully is provided in HGIC 1019,
