To qualify for down payment assistance, you may need to be a first-time home buyer. A first-time home buyer is defined as someone who hasn’t owned a home in the last three years. Both you and the property that you are applying for must be eligible. Down payment assistance and community lending programs are for owner-occupant buyers only and cannot be used on investment properties.
