You don't have to have a bank account at the bank you want to get a mortgage from.  So just find a bank that has the highest interest and save there.  When you are looking for a mortgage, you get in touch with many banks to see which ones has the best option for you! \n\nSallie Mae has good first time home buyers programs.\n\nGood luck!

The best programs are from Wells Fargo & Bank of America. They have low annual fees, no application fees, no maintenance fees, and lower interest rates. They are available in all 50 states. Both Wells Fargo and Bank of America report their accounts to all 3 credit bureaus.\n\nStay away from the "Sub Prime" crap like First Premier, Aspire & Orchard Bank. They have lots of hidden fees.\n\nYou can review lots of programs at www.bankrate.com\n\n\nGood Luck

* Have you covered the microcredit lending program that just won a Nobel Prize?  If not, look up Grameen Bank and Grameen Foundation.  The founder invests small loans to jumpstart locally owned businesses to uplift poor communities.  The Grameen program in Dallas, Texas, also provides free business training and planning so new owners are mentored in developing their own successful enterprise.\nhttp://www.grameenfoundation.org\nhttp://www.grameen-info.org\n\n* If you already covered that, I recommend studying Fair Trade, http://www.transfair.org  This website reports company policy regarding fair labor practices, including those that support farmers cooperatives in retaining a greater share of their profits.\nConsumers are encouraged to patronize companies that carry the "Fair Trade" label and avoid those that do not, in order not to invest in unfair or slave labor practices.  So the free market system is used to check company policy instead of legislation.\n\n* Also, Ithaca Hours is a system of community-based barter dollars.  It is legal tender in the U.S. as long as it follows certain rules, such as the size and denomination of the bills and paying taxes on exchanges the same as using Federal Reserve notes.\nhttp://www.ithacahours.com

Do you mean forclosure?\n\nTry the HUD website, or do a search on forclosures.  Banks also have lists on their forclosed homes but they aren't always on a handy list.

Bank of New York is the biggest ADR bank in the US.  And I believe JP Morgan is no. 2.

use the link below to read about the factory\nThe Beekman family, Colonial-era merchants, built a riverfront mansion near the foot of East 50th Street in 1764. Many sources say that the patriot-spy Nathan Hale was first arraigned there after his capture by the British in 1776. By the mid-19th century the East River waterfront had fallen far from its resort status, and coal yards, lumber mills and other industries dotted the shoreline, at least where there was good river access. \n\nPerhaps because the Beekman mansion's grounds were on a high, rocky bluff without good water access, the house remained standing until the 1870's. But in 1865 the family sold off much of its land around the newly established Beekman Place, including most of the river-facing lots between 49th and 51st Street. To protect the light and air of the brownstone row houses that soon went up at 13-39 Beekman Place, the Beekmans promised to restrict the height of future buildings on their remaining waterfront strip of land, directly below the houses, to no higher than that of Beekman Place itself. \n\nBy the turn of the century bigger and bigger factories were crowding the shoreline -- among them the huge Cremo cigar factory on the current site of River House at 52nd Street -- and the once-genteel private houses were filled with boarders. Still, a clipping from The New York Sun at the Museum of the City of New York, undated but probably from the 1910's, painted a bucolic picture of the clifftop houses looking down on the rocky shore below: ''Mothers in the neighborhood take their knitting and embroidery every afternoon and bask in the shade. . . . Even Coney Island and Rockaway have nothing on the beach at Beekman Place.'' \n\nBy this time the Beekman family estate was trying to void the 1865 height restriction on the waterfront strip -- with a free hand, it said, it could have wiped out the beach and replaced it with a giant steam plant. In 1920 The New York Times reported on what had been a six-year fight to remove the restrictions, which the row-house owners on Beekman Place had fought strenuously to keep. \n\nThe Beekmans' lawyer, Herbert L. Fordham, said that radical changes in the area should void the restriction because it was ridiculous to hang on to the ''half-forgotten vision of terraces and gardens . . . in the midst of towering steam plants, electric light plants and coal pockets. New York needs its waterfront for business.'' \n\nBY 1922 the Beekmans gave up the fight and leased the waterfront strip -- 460 feet long, stretching from 49th up to 51st, and including the empty plot on Beekman Place now occupied by 1 Beekman Place. \n\nThe lease was acquired by a development group that announced plans for a studio apartment on the Beekman Place frontage, and a one-story garage on the waterfront strip. The studio apartment was not built, but the garage, designed by John J. Dunnigan, later a state senator from the Bronx, did go up. It had simple rubble-stone walls and a curved, wood-truss roof. The garage entrance was at 49th street.

Yes, although the most popular is an FHA loan that most mortgage bankers carry.  Go to http://www.hud.gov/ Here you will find answer to many questions as a first time home buyer.  I purchased my first property with an FHA Loan and even though the paperwork is a little more, it is the way to go due to the low down payment required.  Also look for a bank with "FHA credits" this can lower the money required at closing.

I suggest you check out non profits, who are the recipients of most housing grants. Check out Habitat for Humanity. \n\nAlso visit the Nehemiah Corp as they have a downpayment assistance program for qualified lenders http://www.getdownpayment.com/\n\nThe Housing and Urban Development in their Grants Available page makes it clear that they do not provide grants to individuals -- hence no grants for a person to buy a home http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm\n\n"While HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals, we do work through local governments and non-profit organizations to make financial assistance and counseling available."\n\n You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.
