Low-Barrier Entry for First-Time Homebuyers

Purchasing your first home in Arizona does not require saving a massive 20% down payment. Specialized First-Time Buyer Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs offer substantial grants and low-interest second loans to cover upfront purchasing costs. Osvaldo “Wally” Olivares at Barrett Financial Group guides you through state and local program requirements—including the common rule that anyone who hasn’t owned a primary residence in the past three years qualifies as a first-time buyer.

Personalized Loan Pairing for New Buyers

First-time buyer assistance works best when paired with the right primary loan structure. Whether combining your DPA funds with an FHA, Conventional, VA, or USDA mortgage, we analyze your income, credit profile, and target location to maximize available grant funds. This custom approach keeps your initial cash-to-close at a minimum while ensuring your ongoing monthly payments fit comfortably within your household budget.

"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.
