PHFA K-FIT (Forgivable in Ten Years)

5% of price — no cap. $20K on a $400K home, fully forgiven

5% of purchase price with NO dollar cap. Forgiven at 10% per year over 10 years. The best PA program.

Pennsylvania's K-FIT (Keystone Forgivable in Ten Years) program provides up to 5% of the purchase price with no dollar cap as a forgivable grant. Live in the home for 10 years and the entire amount disappears — no repayment required. There are no income limits on who can apply, making K-FIT one of the most accessible DPA programs in the country.

For a $400K duplex, that's $20,000 in free money. The program pairs with PHFA's first mortgage products and works on 1-4 unit properties. K-FIT's combination of no income limits, no dollar cap, and full forgiveness after 10 years makes it one of the strongest DPA programs nationally for aspiring landlords.
