First Time Home Buyers:
 

 Programs Available

 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was formed in 1934 to provide low down payment loans to borrowers that were not able to get financing from the more traditional sources of the time (Banks and Savings and Loan Institutions). FHA provides loans with as little as 3% down (which can be a gift from an immediate relative). In addition, FHA will accept applicants where the incomes do not cover as much as the housing expense that conventional loans might require. Additionally, FHA will accept credit problems that if given a bone fide reason, the traditional lenders would likely reject.  FHA loans included Fixed Rate Mortgages, Adjustable Rate Mortgages, and Fixed Rate Buydown Mortgages.


No Down Payment Programs
Other programs that are made available to those families with reasonably good credit, which require little or no down payment. In some instances, the loan not only provides for no down payment, but also will advance up to 3% of the borrowers closing costs.
