First Home Finance/FLISP: The government subsidy for first-time homebuyers by Ndifuna Ukwazi published on 2023-06-20T09:04:10Z First-time home buyers often struggle to enter the property market as they battle to come up with a deposit. But the government has come up with a solution. First time home buyers who earn between R3,501 and R22,000 per month can now apply for what's known as the First Home Finance. The programme used to be called FLISP and you may have seen it advertised on MyCiti buses in recent years.
