First-time homebuyers (FTHBs) have unique challenges when it comes to buying a home and taking out a mortgage. Without the proceeds of the sale of a current home to be put towards the purchase of a new home, it can be difficult for a first-time home buyer to afford the funds needed for a down payment to take out a mortgage.
That’s why it’s so important for a first time home buyer to team up with a seasoned mortgage professional to help them secure the right mortgage to help them finance a home purchase. We offer a free mortgage calculator to help you get started, and can shepherd you through the entire process.
Luckily, there are several loan programs available to first-time home buyers, including mortgage products that do not require a hefty down payment or high credit score, and closing cost assistance that can make homeownership more accessible.

Additional savings caBacked by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), these home loans are perfect for buyers who don’t have a big down payment or a perfect credit score. You can purchase your house with as little as 3.5% down and a credit score as low as 580!
Most FHA loans with less than a 20% down payment will require you to buy private homeowners insurance (PMI) but you can refinance and get rid of the requirement once you build up equity. There are many state assistance programs to help with your closing costs as well.
A 30-year fixed-rate loan is ideal if you have 20% down and decent credit to get a favorable interest rate. You’ll have a predictable, low monthly mortgage payment and closing costs can be estimated from the start for no surprises. Depending on where you buy real estate, you can have some flexibility with loan limits.
Another of several government programs, VA loans and refinances can deliver an amazing deal for veterans and military members. Those who qualify for this loan can purchase with no down payment and no PMI. It’s the perfect loan option for eligible first time buyers who may have trouble coming up with a hefty down payment amount to secure a mortgage.
