Common Questions
Do I have to pay it back?
It depends on the program — some are grants, some are forgivable seconds after occupancy, and some are repayable seconds.
Is there an income limit?
Most programs have one. We match you to programs where you fit before you shop.
Can I use it with any loan?
Most DPA layers with FHA, VA, USDA, or Conventional — the pairing depends on the program.
