What Are First-Time Homebuyer Loans?
First-time homebuyer loans are created to help new buyers achieve homeownership with low down payments, competitive interest rates, and flexible credit requirements. These loans are ideal for buyers who may not have large savings but are ready to invest in their future. Even if you haven’t owned property in the past three years, you may still qualify as a first-time buyer and access additional programs like down payment assistance.
What Is Down Payment Assistance (DPA)?
Saving for a down payment is one of the biggest hurdles to buying a home, but down payment assistance programs make it easier. DPA programs provide financial assistance in the form of grants, low-interest loans, or forgivable loans to help cover down payments and closing costs. Many programs are designed specifically for first-time buyers, making homeownership more affordable by reducing upfront costs.
Who Qualifies for First-Time Homebuyer Loans?
You may qualify for first-time homebuyer programs if you are buying a home for the first time or haven’t owned property in the last three years. Eligibility requirements usually include a minimum credit score, stable income, and a plan to use the property as your primary residence. Some programs may also require completing a homebuyer education course to qualify for additional assistance.
Loan Options for First-Time Buyers
We offer a variety of mortgage options to fit the needs of first-time buyers. FHA loans are great for those with lower credit scores and small savings, requiring just 3.5% down. VA loans provide zero down payment options for eligible veterans and active-duty military. USDA loans also offer no down payment for homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. For buyers with stronger credit, conventional loans start with 3% down and competitive rates. If covering upfront costs is a concern, our down payment assistance programs provide additional support.
