Rehab Ready/Shovel Ready Program Applications Information

Minimum price for each property will begin at $5,000 plus closing costs unless otherwise specified. You will put in an offer for the properties that you want to acquire in your application.

  • We ask that you include your best assessment of what you would be prepared to invest in the property. Please be as detailed as possible. We understand that a full inspection is required to allow for complete estimates to be provided.
  • Consider framing, fixtures, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and other categories that will need to be addressed.
  • Due to limited staffing and mobility, we plan to schedule inspections after the application period ends for the prevailing applicant. This will provide applicants with an opportunity to adjust any numbers.
  • If you are applying to purchase vacant lots for home construction, feel free to reach out with additional questions.
  • We look forward to working with you all. Please direct any questions to www.birminghamlandbank.org/contact
