Using the first time homebuyer programs more than once
Hey guys, so I am coming up for the 3 year mark on when I moved out of my first house hack. It is a 3 family I moved out and rented all 3 units. Now I’ve been trying to do research (what better way then to ask the BP community) on if I can use the first time homebuyer program again to have a low down payment; what I have seen ( I live in MA by the way) is that if you don’t have a primary residence for 3 years you can qualify again for the first time homebuyer program again. Now I only have that one house and I have been renting for the past 3 years. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys
