Down Payment Assistance Information

Most states have various program that help with down payment assistance to buy a home. The best place to start looking at is usually with your local city and/or county office.

California down payment assistance programs exist to help buyers purchase a home when they would not otherwise be able to afford one. Certain restrictions apply to qualify for the programs. We can answer further questions for you on these programs to determine your eligibility.

Programs and assistance amounts can change from year to year. Again, the best way to stay on top of the down payment assistance programs in your county is by contacting your mortgage professional who can review what programs you may be eligible for.

If you don't currently have a mortgage professional working for you, feel free to contact us at 440-614-0130 for more info.

In addition to the government sponsored down payment assistance programs, there are many non-profit organizations that will grant you your down payment. You should ask your mortgage broker what program is right for you. Down payment organizations such as AmeriDream, Grant America, and the Nehemiah Program provide assistance to thousands of families every year for down payment assistance
