The Iowa Finance Authority, Iowa Association of REALTORS® and the Iowa Mortgage Association today announced the launch of the 2,500 Bucks homeownership month campaign. The campaign encourages Iowans to visit IowaHouseHunt.com throughout the month of June to learn about all aspects of buying a home in Iowa, including $2,500 down payment assistance grants, as well as a chance to win $2,500, no strings attached during the month of June.

The IowaHouseHunt.com web site is a new resource for Iowa home buyers, which provides information on the steps to purchasing a home in Iowa, a free home buyer education course, information about the Iowa Finance Authority’s programs and links to participating lenders and Realtors that can guide them through the process.

To participate in the 2,500 Bucks campaign, all Iowans, eighteen and older should visit IowaHouseHunt.com before July 4 to enter the sweepstakes for $2,500. A second chance to win $2,500 is available by visiting the Iowa Finance Authority facebook page and posting a photo of something that symbolizes “$2,500”. The entry with the most votes will win $2,500.
