Modern Conventional Financing Without the 20% Down Payment

Purchasing a home with a conventional mortgage no longer requires a huge upfront cash reserve. By pairing Fannie Mae HFA Preferred or Freddie Mac HFA Advantage conventional loans with Arizona Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs—such as Home Plus—qualified buyers can secure up to 3% to 5% in assistance to cover their down payment and closing costs. Osvaldo “Wally” Olivares helps Arizona homebuyers leverage conventional assistance programs to build equity quickly while minimizing initial out-of-pocket expenses.

Strategic Savings & Lower Monthly Payment Potential

Conventional DPA offers unique financial benefits compared to government-backed options. Unlike FHA loans, conventional loans feature discounted private mortgage insurance (PMI) rates for qualifying buyers, and the PMI can eventually be canceled once you reach 20% home equity. We evaluate your credit history, area median income (AMI) limits, and long-term financial goals to structure a conventional assistance option that reduces both your upfront cash-to-close and your overall monthly payment.

"FAQs"

Down Payment Assistance includes grants, non-repayable gifts, or second mortgages that help buyers cover their required down payment and closing costs when purchasing a primary residence in Arizona.

Not always! While many DPA programs target first-time buyers (anyone who hasn’t owned a home in the last 3 years), several Arizona assistance programs are available to repeat buyers depending on location and income.

Most DPA programs require a minimum credit score starting around 620 to 640. However, options vary depending on whether you choose an FHA, VA, USDA, or Conventional underlying loan structure.

It depends on the specific program. Some programs offer 100% forgivable grants after a certain period of living in the home, while others offer low-interest or zero-interest second mortgages that are repaid upon refinancing or selling.
