What loan programs are available to me?
The loan programs you qualify for will depend on many things. While your finances are one of the main factors that help determine which loans you are eligible for, other factors such as your occupation may help to qualify you for specific loans.
For example, if you are a service member, veteran, or surviving spouse, you could be eligible for a VA loan. Or if you are a teacher, a firefighter, a law enforcement officer, or an EMT, you might be eligible for the Good Neighbor Next Door program which offers 50% off HUD properties (these are homes that were originally purchased with FHA loans and have been foreclosed).
First-time home buyers have access to many programs that may provide extra assistance when applying for a loan. These are offered from a variety of sources:
- Federal Programs
- State and Local Programs
- Charitable or Non-profit Programs
- Employer-Sponsored Programs.
The loan programs that are available to you will be dependent on your financial situation and the area you are buying a home in. Visit our loan programs page to learn more about how loan products differ.
How do I know which loan program is the best fit?
Choosing the right loan program will depend on a variety of factors like considering loan program features, the loan term and your overall financial goals. Each person’s situation is unique, and it is best to speak to someone with knowledge and experience to help you determine which loan program will be the best fit for your financial situation and goals.
