First-Time Buyer Questions

Common questions from first-time homebuyers

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the program, but you can buy with as little as 3.5% down with FHA loans, or even 0% down with VA or USDA loans if you qualify.

What credit score do I need to buy a home?

Credit score requirements vary by program. FHA loans accept scores as low as 580, while conventional loans typically require 620 or higher.

Can I use gift money for my down payment?

Yes! Most loan programs allow gift funds from family members for down payment and closing costs. We'll help you document this properly.

How long does the home buying process take?

From application to closing typically takes 30-45 days. Getting pre-approved can happen much faster, often within a few days.

What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an estimate based on basic information. Pre-approval involves verifying your finances and gives you a firm commitment, making your offers stronger.
