Food stamps, otherwise known as SNAP, is a federally funded program while GA is state awarded. To apply for food stamps simply Google apply for SNAP benefits and the USDA website will pop up. Enter the website and it'll have you select your state. You'll proceed to answer some income, employment, and asset-related questions and be given an approximate award amount, if approved. You'll then receive a letter from your local Board of Social Services, or other administering agency, informing you of your appointment time. The letter will list evidentiary document that you must bring with you to that appointment. Typically it included your birth certificate, identification, lease agreement, utilities BLS, proof of income or zero earnings statement for unemployment if applicable. Go to that appointment with those items. Depending on where you reside, you will receive your food stamps- if eligible- between three and thirty days, on a debit card called EBT.HOPE THIS HELPS.

There are lots of ways to buy real estate with no money down. Among them:VA loan if you’re a veteranUSDA rural development loanSpecial city programs. Some cities offer special programs—including very creative lending programs—for people who buy and renovate properties in (generally) distressed areas. These vary city by city; you’ll have to do the research. But those programs exist.Beyond these government programs, there are lots of ways you can structure a purchase to make it no-money-down. Among them:Subject-to acquisition. Usually the seller is in financial distress and wants to get rid of his property while not injuring his credit. In brief, the owner deeds the property to you. However, the mortgage stays in his name. You pay his mortgage. And at some point, you refinance or sell the property, at which point his mortgage is paid off. (Yes, the critics are correct that this violates the lender’s due on sale clause. So?) If the owner is behind on his mortgage, you should immediately pay that. But sometimes the owner isn’t yet behind.Owner financing. The owner sells you the property. You make payments to the owner. The down payment is negotiable, and it’s possible to negotiate a purchase with a seller where there’s no down payment. It’s difficult, but it’s done. Tip: Offer more than the owner is asking. Example: The owner wants $200,000 with 10% down. If the property’s worth $200,000, why not offer $240,000 no money down, payments monthly over 15 years at $1,333 a month? Not only would that be no money down financing, but it would be at, ahem, 0%. Lots of sellers focus on the sales price. Don’t you think that if he’s asking $200,000 and you offer $240,000, that he might be interested? [FYI: $200,000 with 10% down, 15 years, at 5% would come out to monthly payments of $1,423.] And do you really care if you’re overpaying on the property? Your monthly payments are lower—every penny you pay is retiring the principle—and after 15 years it’s not going to matter much whether you paid $200,000 or $240,000. And get this: If you pay $200,000, 10% down, 5% interest, at the end of 15 years you’ll have paid a total of $256,217. At $240,000, 0% down, 0% interest, at the end of 15 years you’ll have paid a total of $240,000. So you’ll actually have saved $16,217 by overpaying by $40,000. Wrap your mind around that one!Shared equity. This was particularly popular in the 1970s. You partner with someone else—someone who can provide the down payment. Both your names are on the deed and mortgage. The other person provides the down payment. You pay him every month for his loan. Your shared equity agreement also lays out who gets to decide when to sell, and how the proceeds will be divided. The bank gets its money back first. Your partner then gets his down payment back. Then any profits are split according to the agreement.Lease-option. Negotiate a lease-option with no up-front option fee. [Note: I’m not a lawyer, so this isn’t legal advice. But . . . contracts need “consideration”—usually money—to make them enforceable. But consideration doesn’t have to be money. It can be anything of value . . . such as the full value of your lease agreement.] It’s not always easy—sellers initially will want an option fee (it’s not a down payment), but if you’re good, you may be able to negotiate that away. I’ve done it.All the creative financing strategies I’ve suggested can be used on single-family homes, townhouses, and—yes—duplexes. There are plenty of other strategies—sandwich lease-options, living trusts, land contracts, and many more. But these should be good to start with.

It should be easy to find a buyer for farm land in Iowa. There are more people wanting to buy farmland than there is supply of land.You can try to sell it privately by listing an ad in the paper, or hiring a lawyer (which you will need anyway to complete the real estate transaction and property closing) to list it for sale or do an off-line auction. You can specify an asking price or (usually through the lawyer) ask for bids to be mailed in by a certain date and then select the top three to come in to an office and give their final best bids, etc.What I would recommend, however, is to use a real estate agent (just like you would sell a house) who specializes in selling farm land. Folks like Hertz Management, Farmer’s National, Peoples Company, etc. They will gather all the necessary information, list the property for sale, contact their list of potential buyers to inform them of the land for sale, do the final negotiations or conduct an auction, etc.Another option to sell the land is to simply approach the neighboring farmers and ask them if they are interested. I will bet you my farm that you will find at least one or two that are.It all depends if you want the highest price for the farm (regardless of who buys it) then go for the auction. If you want to help a young farmer out then talk to neighbors. If you want some more say in who buys your land then a listing with an asking price may be best.What you will need when you go to sell your land is:land survey if you are not selling exactly the same land as you bought it (did you build a house on it and are keeping the house, did the land get subdivided, etc.).make sure your abstract document for the land is updated. You need to go through the county courthouse for this.have your FSA map and documents for the farm. Every farm has an FSA tract number and map showing total acres, base acres per crop, etc. FSA = Farm Service Agency of the USDAlook up and have a print-out of your farm’s CSR map and overall average CSR (Corn Suitability Rating, from 1 to 100). The higher the number the better. Farmers have the current range of how many dollars per acre per point of CSR that farmland is selling for and use this as the basis for their bids. The CSR tells the farmer how good the farm is (soil type, slopes, etc) and is a way to compare different farms against each other (to make them apples versus apples)).Have a map of what drainage tile (if any) has been installed on the farm and any other improvements (lack of tile will reduce your price, good tile will increase it).Identify when the farm is available for possession and when any existing rental agreements terminate. If there isn’t a written lease agreement then Iowa has very specific laws on when farm rental agreements (yes, even verbal ones) expire and when they automatically renew (if not canceled in writing).And finally figure out what your asking price is and what your willing to sell the land for.THE NUMBER ONE REASON FARMS DO NOT SELL IS A SELLER HAVING AN UNREALISTIC PRICE EXPECTATION !!Every absentee landlord sees some farm sell for a record price somewhere and then decides that their farm must be worth the same amount. Usually that high price received was for a very good farm (flat, high CSR, good drainage, open to be farmed right away), sold at a very well attended auction and two neighbors got in a bidding war to have “this farm that will never come up for sale again in my lifetime”. Your specific farm is maybe smaller, maybe some cut-up fields (not one big 160 acre square with no waterways or buffer strips), maybe not all your acres are tillable (farmable), maybe it is hillier, probably poorer soil types, etc. If you want it sold be realistic on the price. These days farms are still selling for very good prices at near all time highs (it is down from the hey day 5 years ago). Generally around $95 to $115 per CSR per acre. However these low commodity prices and interest rates creeping up are slowing down some buyers.
