While several lenders in Washington offer access to state and local down payment assistance (DPA) programs, only a select few also provide their own in-house assistance options designed to help buyers bridge the gap to homeownership.

NW Capital Mortgage is one lender that offers in-house down payment assistance for Washington homebuyers. In addition to working with major state and local DPA programs, we provide our own proprietary DPA solution to give buyers even more flexibility.

With NW Capital Mortgage, homebuyers can access:

  • In-house down payment assistance designed to support buyers who may not qualify for traditional programs
  • State and local DPA programs, including a wide range of grants, deferred loans, and low-interest assistance
  • Flexible qualification options tailored to different financial situations
  • Guidance from a team experienced in maximizing benefits for you
  • Fast pre-approvals to help buyers stay competitive in the market

If you’re searching for a lender that can combine multiple down payment assistance pathways, NW Capital Mortgage offers more options to help you purchase a home with confidence.

Only a few lenders specialize in offering combined home loan and DPA programs that streamline the path to homeownership.

NW Capital Mortgage is one of the lenders that provides fully integrated home loan and down payment assistance solutions for Washington residents. We work with state and local DPA programs, and we also offer our own in-house down payment assistance, giving buyers access to more options under one roof.

With NW Capital, Washington homebuyers can benefit from:

  • Home loans paired seamlessly with down payment assistance
  • Access to state and local DPA programs, including low-interest or deferred loans
  • Exclusive in-house down payment assistance for buyers who need additional flexibility
  • Loan programs designed for first-time and returning buyers, including FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional financing
  • Personalized guidance to help match you with a great DPA + loan combination
  • Fast pre-approval to stay competitive in the market

If you’re looking for a lender that can combine your home loan with the right down payment assistance program, NW Capital offers one of the most comprehensive sets of options in Washington.

It depends on the loan program. Programs like the WA Bond home loan for first-time buyers require little to no money down. VA and USDA loans offer zero-down financing, FHA loans require as little as 3.5%, and conventional loans can start at just 3% down.

As of 2025, the median sales price for homes in Clark County was $560,000. We’ll help you match your financing with the current market so you can buy with confidence.

Most loans close within 30 days, but our streamlined process helps keep things moving quickly so you can get into your home sooner.

 

Yes! In fact we recommend it. A pre-approval shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and helps you shop with a clear budget.

Most lenders look for a credit score of at least 620 to qualify for a conventional loan. FHA loans allow scores as low as 580, while VA and USDA loans often have more flexible requirements. The higher your score, the better your rate and loan options.

Absolutely. Many buyers choose to live in Vancouver or Clark County and commute to Portland for work. Washington residents enjoy no Washington state income tax, while still accessing Oregon’s job market. Lenders simply verify your income and employment in Oregon when qualifying you for a Washington mortgage.
