Picking a First Time Buyer Program:

 

Many first time buyers are told by their friends, family members,  their Real Estate Agent, or even read online about a mortgage program they think is good for them.

 

They may be right... But we think it is best to have a highly trained, and licensed Loan Officer review your the full application, then professionally zero in on the best programs for your individual situation, credit scores, etc.

 

FHA Loans:

 

The very popular FHA Loan in only requires a 3.50% down payment. This money can be your own money, a gift from a family member, or combined with down payment assistance loans. FHA loans are federally insured loans, so mortgage companies are more inclinded to lend to home buyers who have weaker credit history, and small down payments.

 

VA Loans:

 

VA loans are awesome. They offer zero down payment, and closing costs can be rolled into the loan, making for 100% financing. Of course VA Loans are only for active and former military personal.

 

You need your VA Certificate of Eligibility to prove your eligibility, but in most cases, we can get that for you. In addition to no down payment, VA home loans have the added benefit of not requiring PMI (private mortgage insurance), which amounts to a HUGE savings over other loans.

 

USDA Rural Development Loans:

 

Rural Development home loans are great for first time homeowners looking to buy a home in rural areas of MN, SD, and WI. USDA rural housing loan programs allow qualified homebuyers to get loans with minimal closing costs and no down payment.

 

The Rural Development Loans also have flexible credit standards, expanded qualifying ratios, no maximum purchase price limits and generous income limits. Closing costs can be rolled into the loan too.
