How down payment assistance financing works

Assistance programs may provide grants, forgivable loans or repayable secondary financing. Availability and terms depend on state, county, income, occupation and first-time-buyer status.

Qualification is personal

Published minimums are not an approval. Income stability, debts, credit history, assets, occupancy, property type and automated underwriting all affect the available terms. An HCMG loan officer can compare the complete scenario without presenting a one-size-fits-all answer.

Compare the full cost

Review the interest rate, APR, mortgage insurance or guarantee fees, closing costs, cash to close and payment-change risk. The lowest advertised payment is not necessarily the lowest-cost or safest option over the time you expect to own the home.

Common questions

Is a down payment assistance automatically the best option for me?

No. The best loan depends on your finances, property, goals and available programs. Compare multiple eligible paths with a licensed loan officer.

Can I get an estimate without a hard credit inquiry?

Yes. HCMG's website estimate uses information you provide and does not itself perform a hard credit inquiry. A formal application and underwriting process are required for approval.

Are rates and program rules guaranteed?

No. Rates, limits, fees and eligibility can change. Your loan officer will confirm the current terms and requirements for your property and application date.
