If you’re a first-time home buyer in Indiana, the state’s housing authority wants to help with what’s likely going to be the biggest purchase you’ll ever make.
The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, or IHCDA, offers mortgage programs for qualified first-time home buyers. You're considered a first-time buyer if you have not owned your primary residence in the past three years.
The requirement to be a first-time home buyer is waived for military veterans and for people who buy in economically disadvantaged "target areas." Some of the programs are open to repeat buyers who meet income guidelines.
