He does not qualify for the community 100% financing due to his income being too high. He's in that stuck between a rock & a hard spot place....makes too much to qualify for a lot of programs, but not enough to have saved much money, especially keeping in mind that this is a young, single man looking to buy his first home. He's just going to have to keep saving! Hopefully someone else will come along who wants to buy the house, but if not, we have a great renter so we are being patient with this young man as he really likes the house & would love to own it. Thanks for your suggestions!
