This is such good information for first time buyers to have. We have a number of DPA programs here, mostly by town, and the amount of money that can be awarded is fairly substantial. It's important that whatever lender is used knows how these programs work and will work in concert with them during the loan approval process.

Jeff,

It is very important that the lender used knows how the programs work.  I am currently working on a transaction that was almost compromised because the loan officer held the file for two weeks before admitting a lack of knowledge.  Fortunately, the file was given to another loan officer and now the processing is back on track.  Thanks for your comment on my post.

Joe - this is a great program and I hope that buyers will contact me for representation.

Suzanne - I will certainly keep this with me all the time because I have met  many buyers who are not familiar with all the components of the program.

Thank you both for commenting on my post.  Have a fantastic day!!
