First time home-buyer FAQ
You have questions. We have answers.
How much money do I need to put down?
It’s a common misconception that you need 20% down to buy a home. There are different options available that allow you to obtain a loan with a lower down payment.
My credit score is less than perfect, does that mean I can't get a home loan?
Not necessarily. There are many different types of loans with varying credit score requirements.
What is the most common mortgage type for first-time homebuyers?
The three most common home loan types are Conventional, FHA and VA, if eligible. You can learn more about these loans here
