You hear it almost every day. Millennials, aspiring first-time buyers, those trying to return to ownership after a foreclosure, they are all telling the same story; it’s almost impossible to buy property today.
For many, housing prices are far outpacing wage increases. That makes the dream of homeownership seem like it’s getting farther away with every passing day.
Luckily, that doesn’t have to be the case. Buying property isn’t impossible, even in today’s climate. And Lehvl can help you get there.

With Levhl, you can have it all.
Down payment and closing cost assistance programs provide aspiring buyers with funds to cover some or all of those costs. In most cases, the money is provided at closing and handled directly by your lender.
There are several potential sources of down payment and closing cost assistance. This includes federal, state, county, and city government organizations as well as nonprofit agencies. At times, the organizations who offer help aren’t well-publicized, causing many to miss out on the programs.
Precisely with programs are available varies depending on several factors, particularly where you plan to buy a home. As a result, not everyone will be eligible for the same options.
CALHFA ADU Grant provides up to $40,000 to reimburse pre-development and non-reoccurring closing costs associated with the construction of the ADU. Predevelopment costs include site prep, architectural designs, permits, soil tests, impact fees, property survey, and energy reports.
Down payment and closing costs assistance programs help make ownership more affordable. However, not everyone qualifies for the programs. Several factors determine eligibility, including where you want to purchase a home and your income.
About 60 percent of down payment and closing cost assistance programs focus on first-time buyers. Other qualifiers you may see include:
It’s also common for programs to have guidelines regarding the property itself. For example, certain structure types aren’t eligible, and there could be home loan size limits.
Signing up for a homebuyer education program is a great way to unlock opportunities and access to programs. Additionally, if you want to find out more about what’s available in your area, local real estate professionals, state housing finance agencies, and local housing authorities may be able to help.
