20 - Empowered 3.5% Down Payment Assistance Program - Forgiven after 6 Months

First Time Home Buyers - How To Buy a Home

I'm talking about one of my favorite down payment assistance programs that you can qualify for even if you make a higher income.
If you qualify for an FHA loan, you likely can qualify for this.
This program offers a 2% or 3.5% forgivable down payment and/or closing cost assistance with NO income limitations! That's right - no matter how much money you make, you may still qualify for this amazing opportunity. It can cover your down payment or closing costs, making it easier for you to afford upfront costs and become a homeowner.
Now, down payment assistance programs are not unusual, but what sets this program apart is that it's fully forgiven after just six months! Plus, this program is eligible in all states, except Washington.
