Arkansas State University

Ask the lender to explain which loan options fit the proposed Arkansas State University-area property's use, who will occupy it, who will borrow and how the down-payment funds will be documented. Compare the proposed down payment, estimated cash to close, mortgage insurance, interest rate and monthly payment on actual Loan Estimates. Ask separately whether a parent gift, parent co-borrower or non-occupying borrower is permitted for that product. The CFPB's Loan Estimate guidance explains the form; it does not establish your eligibility, a minimum down payment for this transaction or an Arkansas-specific assistance award.

Auburn University

Ask lenders to compare programs that fit the actual borrowers, occupancy and property near Auburn University, then obtain the required down payment, acceptable funding sources, mortgage-insurance treatment, reserves and total cash to close in writing. A quoted minimum down payment is not the entire cash requirement: CFPB's Loan Estimate explainer separates closing costs, credits, deposits and cash to close. Fannie Mae directs lenders to its Eligibility Matrix for occupancy-specific maximum loan-to-value and credit requirements. Do not assume that a student living in the home creates a special low-down-payment approval for a parent who will not occupy it.
