Questions, answered
Can down payment assistance be used with VA loans in Louisiana?
29 down payment assistance programs in Louisiana name VA 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 VA 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?
No. Hey Prescott is an educational directory of down payment assistance programs. We list programs and link to official sources; we do not make loans or give individualized lending advice.
