Cash Back at Closing
No — borrowers cannot receive cash back from Hoosier Homes assistance funds . You may still receive a refund of excess personal money you put into the deal.
Hoosier Homes is designed to pay toward your down payment and closing costs . Program rules block converting that second-loan layer into a check you walk away with at closing.
If you deposited more of your own money than the final Closing Disclosure required — earnest money, overfunded wire, or extra personal funds — that surplus can typically be refunded to you. That is a return of your contribution, not cash back from the DPA.
Ryan and Steve structure funding so assistance fills eligible costs without creating a prohibited cash-out scenario that would stall underwriting or delay closing.
Keep these categories straight when you review your Closing Disclosure.
