How to Get Started

Homebuyers MUST follow the steps below in order to take part in the NSP Homebuyer Assistance Program.

Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay! 

STEP #1: Buyer completes an approved homebuyer training class and recevies a certificate. 
               
STEP #2: Buyer gets pre-approved for primary financing through an FHA-approved lender. 
               
STEP #3: Buyer finds a real estate professional.

STEP #4: Buyer, lender or real estate agent contact Clackamas County Community Development to set up a meeting with a Rehab Advisor.

Be sure that the property is a bank-owned foreclosed (REO) single family dwelling. REO or "Real Estate Owned" is a class of property owned by a lender, typically a bank, after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction.
