Curated DPA database
A structured catalog of down-payment-assistance programs with eligibility rules the platform can match against — income, location, first-time-buyer status, profession-based programs, and more.
How It Works
← Back home
A walkthrough
From a 60-second form to thousands at closing.
Five steps take you from “can we even do this?” to keys in hand — starting with a free match against thousands of down-payment-assistance programs, and ending with an advisory that doesn’t get paid unless it finds you at least $3,000.
What happens next
From guessing to knowing — before you ever sign anything.
Most buyers walk into a lender’s office not knowing what to ask for. They leave with whatever they’re given. Flightpath changes the sequence: educate first, shop informed, then validate the best combination before you commit.

Learn what to ask your lender
Before you talk to anyone, we show you how FHA, conventional, VA, and USDA loans actually compare on a home like yours — what the real differences in cost and flexibility are, and, critically, what questions to ask so you get the right program quoted, not just whatever a lender defaults to. Walk in knowing what an apples-to-apples Loan Estimate looks like.

Go get quotes — then bring them back
Shop lenders. Use ours as a starting point or bring your own. Collect your Loan Estimates. Then use the True Cost calculator to compare the real all-in cost of each option — not just the rate, but the total picture: funds to close, monthly payment, escrows, and what the property-tax adjustment does to your number 12 months after you move in.

Full advisory: the right DPA, the right program, the right loan
Guaranteed to save you $3,000 or more
This is where it comes together. We review your DPA options alongside your loan quotes and identify the combination that actually maximizes your savings — because not every DPA pairs with every loan type, and not every lender can execute every program. If we don't find at least $3,000 in total savings across DPA grants, rate strategy, closing-cost reductions, and property-tax planning, you pay nothing.

Close with the best deal on the table

Behind the curtain
What Flightpath does that you don’t see.
State-aware tax logic
Property-tax rules differ by state. Flightpath's projection engine starts with Michigan's Proposal A uncapping rules and expands. The math is transparent — you can always see the assumptions.
Education-only, by design
Flightpath isn't a lender, broker, or originator, and no one here works on commission. Nobody gets paid more if you borrow more — the advice has no thumb on the scale.
Your data stays yours
We never sell your information, never spam you, and never hand you to a lender without you asking. Your report and your plan are yours to keep either way.
The next step
Step one takes sixty seconds.
