First Time Homebuyer Loans Are Good For:

These loans are ideal for first time homebuyers, whether you’re currently renting, living with others, or in a transitional housing situation. They’re a strong option for anyone with limited credit history or down payment savings, and they pair well with assistance programs or low-interest, fixed-rate financing.

Talking to a licensed Loan Officer is the first step to getting the right mortgage loan. Everyone has different loan needs and qualifications, and your Loan Officer will know which questions to ask in order to best match you with the right loan and monthly payment that you qualify for.

Many first-time buyer programs require just 3 to 3.5 percent down. Assistance programs can help cover down payment and closing costs through grants, forgivable loans, or second mortgages, depending on eligibility and location.

Programs often allow lower credit scores or alternative credit history. Income limits may apply depending on the loan program or assistance you’re using. Homebuyer education is often required to help you prepare for long-term success.

With so many options, it’s important to choose the loan that aligns with your income, goals, and timeline. A loan officer can walk you through the details, show you what you qualify for, and connect you to helpful local resources.
