Are you interested in buying a remodeled, energy-efficient home in Pima County but don’t think you can afford it?

The Pima County Community Land Trust can help you buy a home:

• For only $1,500 out of pocket.
• Even if you earn as little as half the area median income.
• With financial assistance that reduces your mortgage to 80 percent of the home’s appraised value.
• And contain your monthly housing costs, including utilities, to 35 percent or less of your monthly gross income.
