Funding status worth knowing

The four kinds of assistance

Grant

Money you never repay.

Forgivable loan

A loan that is forgiven if you keep the home (and the loan) for a set number of years. Sell or refinance early and you may owe some or all of it.

Deferred loan

A loan with no monthly payments, usually 0% interest, repaid when you sell, refinance or pay off the first mortgage.

Repayable loan

A second loan you repay monthly, often at a low rate.
