Questions

What first-time buyers ask.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan. Some loans allow a low down payment, and assistance programs can help buyers who qualify. A lender can tell you what applies to you.

Can I buy if my credit is not perfect?

Often, yes, but it depends on the loan and the lender. Tell LaVonne where things stand and she will tell you the next step.

What is a first-time home buyer program?

A state or local program that helps buyers who qualify with the down payment or closing costs. Rules and funding change, so ask LaVonne what is open now.

Who decides what I qualify for?

Your lender and the program do. This page is general information, not financial advice.
