Saving for a down payment or coming up with the cash for closing costs associated with a new home mortgage can sometimes feel impossible, but many cities, counties, and states have programs that can bring the dream of homeownership within reach. Bond and Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs are designed with one thing in mind, helping qualified homebuyers with the cost of purchasing a new home by providing grants or favorable terms on a second mortgage.
A great option for first-time homebuyers or individuals who don’t have enough money set aside for a down payment or closing costs.
Primary residence, single family and 2-4 unit properties, condos, and Planned Unit Developments (PUDs); maximum loan or grant amount varies by program selected.
Whether you are tired of renting or it’s time to find the home where you will begin raising a family, saving enough money for a down payment isn’t necessarily where your dream of homeownership ends. Gateway has a long list of relationships with local, county and state housing authorities which means owning a home of your own may be closer than you think.
