One of the biggest challenges facing homebuyers is having enough money for closing. Northpointe Bank offers several programs that can help. In partnership with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA), qualified borrowers can receive 2.5% or 5%* of the purchase price towards down payment and closing costs. Buying a home may be more achievable than you think.

Options for first-time and repeat homebuyers
2.5% or 5% of the purchase price in down payment assistance in the form of a forgivable second mortgage

*Down payment assistance (DPA) is provided in the form of a forgivable second mortgage with a 0% interest rate and no monthly payments by the OHFA. If the borrower continuously resides in the home for 7 years from loan closing, 5 years for the Grants for Grads program, the DPA second mortgage will be deemed satisfied. The DPA will be due if the borrower sells or refinances before 7 years from loan closing, 5 years for the Grants for Grads program. This is not a commitment to lend. All loans subject to credit review and approval. Other terms and conditions apply.
