When You Need First Time Home Buyer Loans

First-time buyer loans are for anyone who hasn't owned a home in the last three years. With the U.S. homeownership rate hovering around two-thirds of households, these programs exist to help more people get their foot in the door. The IRS definition is generous — even if you owned before, you can often qualify as a first-time buyer again. These programs include FHA loans with 3.5 percent down, conventional 3 percent loans, VA loans with no down payment, USDA loans for rural areas, and various down payment assistance programs from the state and local governments.

Here's how we close your first-time buyer loan. Call or text me and we'll talk through your income, savings, credit, and goals. I'll pull a soft credit check and quote you every first-time buyer program you qualify for. Same-day pre-approval in most cases. Most first-time buyer loans close in 25 to 35 days. I'll explain every step and keep you informed throughout.
