Questions, answered
Can down payment assistance be used with a conventional loan in Rhode Island?
6 programs in Rhode Island 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 open 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?
