Pick the OHFA branch first

This page stays public because the official structure is still useful, but these details should not be flattened into fake certainty.

This page is the statewide OHFA backbone, not one single loan. Buyers still need to pick the exact OHFA branch, because first-time-buyer rules, income caps, and whether a silent-second DPA lien exists all depend on the selected product.

Type

Repayment

When the buyer chooses an OHFA option that includes down payment assistance, OHFA says the assistance is a zero-interest silent second mortgage with no monthly payment. OHFA says repayment is triggered when the first loan reaches maturity or is paid off, when the home is sold or refinanced, or when the buyer leaves the home as a primary residence or otherwise changes ownership. ZERO options do not carry the DPA second lien because OHFA's current rate sheet shows 0.00% DPA for those variants.
