How to read the list

Not all help is the same

Amounts, limits and funding change: confirm with a participating lender.

Before you compare amounts, look at the kind of help: it changes what you pay later. These are the kinds the programs on this page use.

On ITIN, each card says what the program itself publishes: yes, no, or not confirmed on its site.

  • Deferred

    Second loan with no payments until you sell or refinance

  • Forgivable

    Second loan forgiven if you stay in the home
