DPA Advantage Down Payment Assistance

When beginning the home-buying process, it can be overwhelming to calculate how large of a down payment you can afford. Thankfully there are resources to help! DPA Advantage provides a wide variety of borrowers with the down payment assistance they need in a form of a grant equal to 2.5% or 3% of the purchase price. This grant can be applied to eligible FHA purchases for qualified borrowers.

DPA Advantage eligibility is for anyone who falls under one of the following criteria:

• Income is equal to or less than 140% of median area income
• First-time home buyers
• Current, retired, volunteer, non-paid, or plan to become:
  • First-responders (police officer, firefighter, public safety officer, paramedic, or emergency medical technician (EMT), including volunteers, or similar)
  • Educators
  • Medical personnel (nurse, doctor, phlebotomist, health ambassador, or hospital, American Red Cross worker, or similar)
  • Civil servant in a federal, state, or local municipality
  • Military personnel
• Additionally, properties may be eligible if they are located in an underserved census tract
• If none of the above apply, at minimum, the income and credit must meet FHA total score card or manual underwriting requirement.
