First-Time Buyer Programs in Kennett Square
First-time buyers in Kennett Square can access PHFA K-FIT — a forgivable second mortgage providing up to $10,000 toward down payment or closing costs, forgiven at 20% per year over five years with no monthly payment required. Pair K-FIT with an FHA loan for maximum flexibility on lower down payments or with a conventional loan for buyers with stronger credit. Income and purchase price eligibility caps apply at Chester County rates. Lena walks every first-time buyer through qualification requirements and the required PHFA homebuyer education course before application.
