Genesis Housing Corporation offers a first-time homebuyer program to purchase selected renovated homes in Pottstown or Norristown. The sales price is effectively reduced by 20% of market value, with a 0% interest second lien (15-year term) placed for the reduction amount; no repayment is required unless the home is sold, refinanced, rented, or transferred. Buyers must be at or below 80% AMI, obtain a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, contribute 3% of their own funds, and complete mandatory counseling.
