FAQ

Down payment assistance questions.

Assistance options can be valuable, but eligibility and repayment terms need careful review.

Is down payment assistance free money?+

Sometimes assistance may be forgivable, and sometimes it may be repayable or recorded as a second lien. The terms matter, so they should be reviewed before choosing a program.

Can assistance cover all of my cash to close?+

It depends on the program, loan type, purchase price, closing costs, seller credits, and your personal eligibility. Some buyers still need funds for earnest money, inspections, reserves, or remaining closing costs.

Will using assistance make my offer less competitive?+

It can affect timing or documentation depending on the program. Planning early helps your loan officer and agent position the offer with fewer surprises.
