Infill Housing Homebuyer

1. Complete a homeownership training course through a participating homeownership counseling provider
2. Apply to a County-approved lender for a first mortgage to determine your capacity to borrow. Infill home sales prices range up to $205,000 (private lots may be priced up to $215,000)
3. Once you are determined to be mortgage-ready and the sales price is affordable, review the Pre-sale List of Infill Lot sites being developed for the Infill Program. Contact the developer listed for more information.  A sales contract is a legal document and the homebuyer is advised to have it reviewed by the homebuyer's legal advisor prior to execution.  It is not a requirement to be represented by a licensed Florida real estate agent in the purchase of your home; however, you may use the professional services of a real estate agent for the home-buying transaction, and they charge a commission for their services

• Notify the Infill Housing Program that the home is for sale; and,
• Sell the home to another qualified buyer at or below the maximum sales price as established in the Recorded Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant
