Conventional Down Payment Assistance

How This Program Works

This program combines a conventional first mortgage with a 0% interest second mortgage designed to help cover your down payment and a majority of your closing costs. The goal is simple: keep more cash in your pocket at closing. See my full down payment assistance guide.

  • 0% interest on the down payment assistance funds
  • No monthly payments on the assistance loan
  • Forgiven after 15 years if you remain in the home (repayable if you sell or refinance sooner)
  • At least one borrower must qualify as a first-time homebuyer
  • 660+ minimum FICO score
  • Primary residence only
