Has anyone had trouble getting the funds for First Time Home Buyers club? They’re dicking me around right now and it’s getting annoying, coming up on three months since I started this process and all I’m waiting on now is the grant money. ---

I don’t think I did, pretty smooth sailing from purchase to closing. ---

It’s been about a month since we went to the FHLB with everything else approved, they’re just slow in response to everything it seems. They finally got back to me on April 1st (I assumed funds had finally cleared up) asking me for additional information, and I haven’t heard back from them since. I’m just really hoping I’m not going to have to wait til the beginning of May for funds to clear up again. ---

You should really only need to speak with someone at the bank. ---

After 10 days of radio silence, finally heard back from the bank…and they’re just requesting more information. :banghead: I guess it’s at least good knowing they’re working on it. ---

This is exactly what happened to me, and my mortgage woman at m and t was calling daily to FHC and by the time FHC would get back to her all the paperwork was outdated and needed to be done again with current info. Was such a pain in the ass…but for 7500 I was willing to do the BS. I find it ridiculous that I can go to a car dealership and buy a new $100,000 benz with my credit and leave there in 1 hour yet for a $65,000 house it took me 2 months of aggravating jumping through hoops. Good luck with everything, and don’t worry when its all over you will be happy with your new house ---
