Let's talk about loan programs
Some homebuyers, particularly those making their first home purchase, lack a large down payment. Fret not. While traditionally a down payment of 20% or more was required for conventional financing, today’s market offers several alternatives with lower entry costs.
Below is a quick overview of some of our loan programs for borrowers who need to put a minimum amount down on their new home. FHA and VA loans are becoming increasingly popular due to recent changes in loan limits and underwriting criteria. Be sure to ask your loan officer for details. That’s what they’re here for.
All loans subject to approval.
