It’s very important to speak with an independent mortgage broker, so you can see just exactly what program is going to best suit you, and what lender is going to best suit your type of scenario. If you’re a first-time buyer, if you’re a veteran, if you’re doing an FHA loan, if you’re doing a USDA loan, there are many products that can fit your exact scenario.

You just need somebody to look at your particular scenario and figure out which one is best for you. As far as Down Payment, you can get loans that are as little as 3%, down up to 20%. down the first-time homebuyer sometimes there are grants that you can actually get from the state. There’s a Cal half a program in California.

Down Payment – First-Time Programs

There are other programs and other states that you can get for first-time homebuyers. They’re called downpayment assistance programs. These can actually help you with the downpayment so that you don’t have to come up with so much money on your purchase. Typically, a conventional loan will start at 3% down and go from 3% to 5%. All the way up to however much you want to put down.

FHA is a government loan. And that will typically have a 3.5% down payment. FHA, a lot of folks opt into it because FHA is more flexible guidelines. You can get into FHA with lower credit scores, different job scenarios, and it has better interest rates than a conventional loan.

For the most part, if you’re looking at VA loans, we might be biased because we specialize in VA loans. But VA loans are 100% financing, so you don’t have to have any money down. And you can actually get an outstanding interest rate for your VA loan with no mortgage insurance either.
