Down Payment Assistance
Quick Guide: Minimum Down by Loan Type
-
FHA: As low as 3.5% down (with qualifying credit; gift funds and many DPA programs allowed).
-
VA: 0% down for eligible service members, veterans, and some surviving spouses (no monthly PMI; funding fee may apply).
-
USDA: 0% down in eligible rural/suburban areas (income & location limits).
-
Conventional: As low as 3% down for many first‑time or income‑qualified buyers; 5%+ otherwise (PMI until ~20% equity).
-
Jumbo: Typically 10–20%+ down (program‑by‑program).
How DPA Helps
Grants and second‑loan options can cover part—or all—of your down payment and sometimes closing costs. Availability and amounts vary by state, city, and property.
*Program eligibility varies by location, income, credit, and property type. Not all borrowers will qualify. This is not a commitment to lend. Check details with your lender.
