Affording the down payment is the top concern for half of millennial homebuyers.
As more millennials are transitioning from renters to homeowners, many have concerns about the money requirements needed to take the next step.
Budgeting for a 20 percent down payment can be an overwhelming task for people planning to buy a home.
Provided by federal, state, county, city and non-profit agencies, down payment assistance programs help potential homebuyers by lending enough money to cover some or all of the down payment.
There are three different options when choosing a down payment assistance program.
There are also a variety of other programs that support different groups – such as low-income individuals or public service professionals – and not all potential homebuyers will be eligible for every option.
There are many different mortgage loan programs to help cover the down payment of a home for any financial situation.
Conventional Home Loan: With down payments as low as three percent, conventional home loans generally offer more flexibility when it comes to loan terms.
FHA Loan: Designed for individuals with a low-to-moderate income level and credit score, FHA loans offer low down payments, allowing the borrower to buy a home with a minimum of 3.5 percent down payment.
USDA Loan: A mortgage loan program offered to potential homebuyers in rural areas.
VA Loan: Home loans only eligible to Veterans and current service members, allowing borrowers to buy a home with little or no down payment.
