New Member in New Orleans

[Demi Diaz]

Hi everyone,

A huge blessing to have found this platform!

My name is Demi, 27 years old, first generation originally from New York now residing in New Orleans (almost 3 years!)

I've been working all year to lower my debt to income ratio to finally make the move on buying my first home. I'm leaning more towards buying a multifamily first: I recently learned you can use a FHA loan on a multifamily, and again on a single family home but not the other way around.

Are any you familiar with first homebuyer programs/grants here? Trying to find the best resources and make this first purchase as smooth as it could potentially be.

Any tips/advice will be appreciated!
