5% down payment assistance grant for home buyers in Castle Rock Colorado. No repayment and no first time buyer requirement!  The NHF Platinum program helps home buyers in Castle Rock CO with down payment and closing costs up to 5% of the sales price of your home.  The home you are purchasing must be your primary residence, but unlike many other down payment assistance programs, there are no first time home buyer requirements. The CO NHF Platinum program is a grant, not a loan, so it never has to be repaid!  So what's the catch you ask?  There are a few, but the program does accept many Castle Rock CO home buyers. The main qualifying factor is that there are income limits for qualifying for the NHF Platinum program. Your qualifying income (income used to qualify for the mortgage) must be...
