Frequently asked questions

What down payment assistance programs are available in Nevada?

There are 2 state-specific programs and 7 federal programs available in Nevada, totaling 9 programs.

Do I need to be a first-time buyer to get DPA in Nevada?

Not all programs require first-time buyer status. Several Nevada programs are available to repeat buyers. 'First-time buyer' means you haven't owned a home in the past 3 years.

Can I use DPA to buy a multi-unit property?

Yes. Many DPA programs allow 1-4 unit properties. Live in one unit and rent the others — this is called house-hacking.
