CHARLEVOIX

Homes available in Charlevoix

Green 3 Homes, a Nonprofit Corporation 501(c)(3) builds near-zero carbon emission starter homes for individuals/families who may have had challenges qualifying for a home mortgage in the past. A final applicant who is selected to successfully rent one of our properties for 3 years, and utilize its energy savings, will be offered the home for purchase…below fair market value (FMV).

 

Most of us have thought about or have applied to own a home. Sometimes a person’s debt, lack of a down payment, etc. hinders that process. We give our chosen renters a 3-year “window”, while they rent from us, to utilize the energy-savings (approx. $5,000/yr.) from the home to improve their chance of qualifying for a mortgage. Three (3) years of your saved heating & electric costs, in Charlevoix County, would be approx. $15,000. Green 3 Homes gives you the tools to give yourself a financial “leg-up” during your 3 rental years…before we offer you the home.

 

So, we would love to offer you a unique, “Renters-become-Buyers” opportunity. Though we have a limited number of starter homes available throughout the year, please contact us below.
