Help with the hardest part of buying
Lower your upfront cost
Assistance and grant programs can reduce — or in some cases cover — the cash you need at closing, so a home is within reach sooner.
Keep your savings intact
Put less of your own money down and hold onto a healthy cushion for moving, furnishing, and life after closing.
Buy sooner than you think
Many buyers assume they need 20% down. Between assistance programs and low-down-payment loans, the real number is often far less.

Frequently asked questions
What is down payment assistance?
Down payment assistance (DPA) is help — often in the form of a grant or a second loan — that reduces the cash a buyer needs at closing. Nevada offers several programs aimed at making homeownership more attainable, and there are also low-down-payment loan options (like FHA and VA) that work alongside them. Programs, amounts, and eligibility change over time, so the best first step is a quick conversation with a lender who works with them every day.
How much assistance could I get?
It varies by program, your income, the home's price, and your loan type — so there's no single number. Rather than quote a figure that may be out of date, we'll match you with a lender who will tell you exactly what's available to you right now. Requesting that review is free.
Does the assistance have to be paid back?
It depends on the program. Some assistance is structured as a grant that doesn't need to be repaid; other programs are a second loan that's repaid, deferred, or even forgiven over time if you stay in the home. Your lender will explain the exact terms of any program you qualify for before you commit to anything.
Do I have to be a first-time buyer to qualify?
Not necessarily. Some programs are reserved for first-time buyers (often defined as not having owned a home in the past three years), but others are open to repeat buyers who meet income and property guidelines. We'll help you find the programs that fit your situation.
Can I combine assistance with an FHA or VA loan?
Often, yes. Down payment assistance is frequently paired with FHA loans, and veterans and active-duty military may qualify for zero-down VA financing that can reduce the need for assistance altogether. A lender will help you structure the combination that costs you the least out of pocket.
Will checking my options affect my credit?
Simply requesting information and talking through your options does not affect your credit. A lender will only run a credit check when you're ready to move toward a pre-approval, and they'll ask first.
