First-Time Buyer Questions?

With FHA loans, you can put down as little as 3.5%. VA and USDA loans require $0 down.

2. What credit score do I need to buy a home?

A score of 620+ is ideal, but FHA loans allow for lower scores.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Autem dolore, alias, numquam enim ab voluptate id quam harum ducimus cupiditate similique quisquam et deserunt, recusandae.

4. Can I buy a home with student loan debt?

Yes! Lenders consider your debt-to-income ratio, so it’s possible to qualify.
