For many homebuyers, coming up with a down payment or covering closing costs is the biggest hurdle on the path to homeownership. That’s where Supreme Dream Down Payment Assistance (DPA) comes in.
At Supreme Lending, we’re proud to offer two distinct options to meet borrowers where they are financially—whether they’re looking for forgivable support or a low-cost second lien.
Let’s break them down.
Option 1: 3.5% Forgivable Down Payment Assistance
This option provides 3.5% of the purchase price (or FHA Adjusted Value) as a second lien with some powerful borrower-friendly features:
0% interest
No monthly payments
Fully forgiven after 5 years of consecutive on-time payments on the first mortgage
Can be used for down payment, closing costs, or to buy down the interest rate
Minimum FICO: 620
This is a great solution for buyers who need upfront help but want to avoid future repayment obligations.
Option 2: 5% Repayable Down Payment Assistance
If you need a bit more assistance, the 5% repayable option might be the better fit:
5% of the purchase price (or FHA Adjusted Value)
10-year fixed second lien
Monthly payments required
Minimum FICO: 600
This repayable option provides additional funds to help cover more of your upfront costs—giving borrowers greater buying power.
What Both Options Have in Common
Available with Supreme’s FHA first lien at 96.5% LTV
DPA can cover down payment, closing costs, or discount points
