Post     Post subject: Section 8 for existing homeowner

I have a mortgage. Can I get assistance from Section 8. Or is the home ownership program just for new home buyers?

Hi Patty,

As far as I know, normally the first time homeowners will get assistance from Section 8. People who have existing homeownership may not be able to get this assistance.

Thanks

Hi Jimbob,

You can contact your lender and apply for a loan modification. If the lender accepts your request, then you will be able to save your property and get a better payment plan to pay off your mortgage.

Post     Post subject: Owner finace never been on section 8

Im buying a house owner financed. I find it harder and harder to make it with the cost of everything going up. Ive never received section 8 before and was wondering if owner finace with the other criteria meet if I can still receive section8 mortgage vouchers. Sad

Hi Guest,

Though I'm not sure but I don't think owner financed properties will qualify for Section 8. Nevertheless, you should contact the PHA and take their assistance in this regard.

Thanks
