OHFA Down Payment Assistance
Amount: Current OHFA materials say borrowers can receive 3% of purchase price on conventional loans or 3.5% of purchase price on FHA, VA, and USDA loans for down payment and closing costs through a companion second mortgage.
Repayment: OHFA describes the assistance as a seven-year forgivable second mortgage with no monthly payment. If the home is sold within seven years, the buyer must repay the full assistance amount. If the borrower refinances outside the OHFA refinance path, the DPA second mortgage must be paid off at refinance.
First-time buyer: Varies
Timing: Apply through an OHFA-approved lender; OHFA says closing usually occurs 30 to 45 days after completing the loan application.
