Nevada Down Payment Help: Grant or Forgivable Loan?

This guide explains the two main types of Nevada Down Payment Assistance (DPA): grants and forgivable loans. Understanding their differences is key to choosing the right one for your financial situation and homeownership timeline.

• A DPA grant is essentially a gift that you do not have to repay, though it may come with a slightly higher mortgage interest rate.
• A forgivable loan acts as a zero-interest second mortgage that is forgiven over a set period, typically 3 to 10 years, as long as you live in the home.
• Eligibility for these programs generally depends on meeting county-specific income limits, having a minimum credit score (often 640), and completing a homebuyer education course.
• Your long-term plans are crucial, as selling your home early would require you to repay the remaining balance of a forgivable loan.
