DPA, or Down Payment Assistance, helps homebuyers with upfront costs and offers significant benefits. These loans offer notable advantages that can greatly benefit individuals in their homebuying journey.
A DPA loan eases home purchase by assisting with the down payment, making homeownership more accessible and affordable for many.
DPA loans offer a more budget-friendly alternative for borrowers facing challenges in saving for a down payment, as they eliminate the need for monthly payments.
DPA loans, which neither accrue interest nor impose prepayment penalties, can significantly reduce the overall cost for borrowers and provide the flexibility to pay off the loan early without incurring extra fees.
DPA loans are widely available through various government programs, non-profit organizations, and other lending institutions.
Savings, if any, vary based on the consumer’s credit profile, interest rate availability, and other factors. Contact Guaranteed Rate for current rates. Restrictions apply.

*This is not a commitment to lend. The borrower must meet all loan obligations, including living in the property as the principal residence and paying property charges, including property taxes, fees, and hazard insurance. The borrower must maintain the home. If the borrower does not meet these loan obligations, then the loan will need to be repaid. Otherwise, the loan must be repaid when the last borrower passes away or sells the home. Prices, guidelines and minimum requirements are subject to change without notice. Some products may not be available in all states. Subject to review of credit and/or collateral; not all applicants will qualify for financing. It is important to make an informed decision when selecting and using a loan product; make sure to compare loan types when making a financing decision.

Charges such as an origination fee, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs and/or servicing fees may be assessed and will be added to the loan balance. The loan balance grows over time, and interest is added to that balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from your income tax until you repay all or part of the interest on the loan. Although the loan is non-recourse, at the maturity of the loan, the lender will have a claim against your property and you or your heirs may need to sell the property in order to repay the loan or use other assets to repay the loan in order to retain the property. You should know that a reverse mortgage is a negative amortization loan which means that your mortgage balance will increase while your home equity decreases if you do not make principle and interest payments on your loan. This may make it more difficult to refinance the loan or to obtain cash upon the sale of the home. However, you will never owe more than the home is worth when the loan is repaid.
