Questions, answered
Can down payment assistance be used with conventional loans in Connecticut?
19 down payment assistance programs in Connecticut name conventional loans among the loan types they can be paired with. The assistance program and the first-mortgage lender underwrite separately, so a lender must also be willing to accept the assistance as a source of funds.
Does naming conventional loans mean a program is available to everyone using one?
No. The loan type is one eligibility rule among several — income limits, purchase price caps, credit requirements and occupancy rules all still apply, and each program sets its own.
Is Hey Prescott a lender?
