💡 DPA vs. Bringing Your Own Money
With DPA

Grants of up to 5% cover your down payment — you get in with little to nothing out of pocket. The trade-off: a higher interest rate (typically +0.375% or more) means a higher monthly payment over the life of the loan.

With Savings

Putting money down reduces your balance, lowers your monthly payment, and can save thousands over the life of the loan.
