The Quick Checklist

Do You Qualify for Down
Payment Assistance?

Here's what actually matters — and what doesn't. Most people are surprised by how much is in their favor.

✓ YOU QUALIFY
📊

580+ Credit Score

A 580 FICO qualifies with DU Approval. Manual underwrite at 600. You don't need perfect credit — you need a plan.

✓ YOU QUALIFY
💼

Any Income Level

There is no income cap on this program. Whether you earn $35K or $135K a year, the door is open.

✓ YOU QUALIFY
🏠

Owned a Home Before

No first-time homebuyer requirement. If you owned years ago or are buying again — this program doesn't care. It cares that you're ready now.

✓ YOU QUALIFY
👨‍👩‍👧

Non-Occupant Co-Borrower

A family member who doesn't live in the home can co-sign and help you qualify. Parents, siblings — it's allowed.

100% of your down payment and closing costs can come from a gift. Your family can help you get into a home.
