What is the “Property Program Association”?
We are a nonprofit initiative that helps renters, first-time buyers, and veterans access verified homeownership programs, including down payment assistance, low-interest loans, and zero-down options. Our services are completely free to homebuyers.
Do I need perfect credit to qualify for these programs?
Not at all. Most programs require a minimum credit score of 580, and some options may be available with higher or lower scores. We’ll help assess your eligibility and match you to the best available program for your credit profile.
Are these programs available in every state?
Yes. We work with nationwide partners, including local, state, and federal programs. While availability and terms vary by state, we’ll help you find the most relevant options for your location.
Do I need to be a first-time homebuyer to qualify?
Not necessarily. While some programs are designed specifically for first-time buyers, others are available to repeat buyers, veterans, or individuals who haven’t owned a home in the past two to three years.
What kind of financial assistance is available?
Programs may include down payment assistance, zero-down loans, forgivable grants, discounted interest rates, or reduced closing costs. Our team will help you understand what you qualify for and how to apply.
Is there a cost to use your services?
No. Our assistance is completely free for homebuyers. We are funded through partnerships with housing organizations and lenders, allowing us to provide expert guidance without charging you a fee.
Will submitting the pre-qualification form affect my credit score?
No. Our assistance is completely free for homebuyers. We are funded through partnerships with housing organizations and lenders, allowing us to provide expert guidance without charging you a fee.
How long does the home buying process usually take?
Once you’re pre-qualified, the full process—from application to closing—typically takes 30 to 45 days, depending on your loan type and how quickly documents are submitted.
What documents do I need to get started?
Typically, you’ll need a valid ID, recent pay stubs or proof of income, two years of employment history, and permission to access your credit profile. A specialist will provide a full list after your initial pre-qualification.
