Affordable housing programs generally require 6 months of residency or work in their jurisdictions and have income and asset restrictions. These programs are for people of median incomes in the areas and aren't for investors. They are designed to have area residents be able to own a home and get off from being renters.They aren't good investments from the standpoint their value increases, as they are usually based on an areas consumer price index, not free market rates of appreciation. There are varying qualifying plateaus based on income and the number of family members. There is ultra low, low, and moderate income levels and each complex or development, and they may have differing qualifications.So one complex may have an ultra low guideline and another a moderate income qualifiying table.
