Common First-Time Home Buyer Myth:
“You Need 20% Down to Buy a Home”
Many buyers are surprised to learn that several loan programs allow much lower down payments.
Depending on the program and qualification guidelines, some buyers may qualify with:
3% Down Conventional Financing
3.5% Down FHA Loans
0% Down VA Loans for Eligible Veterans
0% Down USDA Financing in Eligible Areas
Down Payment Assistance Programs
Another important reminder:
Lenders qualify using gross income. Buyers live on net income.
The best first home is not necessarily the most expensive home you qualify for — it is the home that comfortably fits your lifestyle and long-term goals.
If you are considering buying your first home in Fresno, Clovis, Visalia, Madera, Merced, Modesto, Bakersfield, or surrounding Central Valley communities, I would be happy to answer your questions.
