FHA plan may spark home building boom in Greene county
The new Federal Housing Administration office in Greene county could spark a broad building boom for city, town, farm homes and outbuildings. The program insures up to 80 percent of the home value with 20 percent down, financed through private banks. A $4000 house on a $1000 lot could be funded as an $5000 insured mortgage repaid over 20 years, about $40 monthly, allowing owners to finish with full ownership. Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio, is listed for inquiries.
