Down Payment Assistance

Down Payment Assistance Programs (DPA) are offered by Certified Capital Home Loans to advance our clients into the wealth building benefits of home ownership without waiting to save for the down payment.  

The down payment assistance program is either a grant or a second mortgage that addresses the 3% down payment requirement for a conventional loan, or the 3.5% down payment requirement for a FHA loan.  Certified Capital Home Loans has excellent down payment assistance options, to include grants that don't require repayment, silent second down payment assistance that doesn't require a monthly payment (excellent for qualification purposes), and even a silent forgivable second that has no monthly payment and the balance is 'forgiven' so no repayment is needed after 3 years.  Call or click us today to get qualified today for home purchase without a down payment.

  • Not necessarily a disadvantage, but some of the available down payment assistance programs limit a borrower's debt to income ratio (DTIR) to a lower percentage than the conventional or FHA first mortgage might allow.  This guideline in beneficial because it ensures affordability, however, it can come with less purchasing power (qualify for less purchase amount).
