Get Pre-Approved

Your preferred lender will work closely with you to determine what monthly payment you can comfortably afford. Pre-approval allows us to move quickly when we find the right house.

Explore the differences between the four most common loan types here:

Conventional

A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not backed by any government agency and typically requires a higher credit score and down payment, but offers competitive rates and flexible terms.

FHA

An FHA loan is a government-backed mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration, designed to help first-time homebuyers and those with lower credit scores by offering lower down payments and more lenient credit requirements.

VA

A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, exclusively for veterans, active-duty service members, and certain military spouses, offering no down payment and favorable terms.

USDA

A USDA loan is a rural development mortgage provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, aimed at low-to-moderate income buyers in eligible rural areas, with no down payment and lower interest rates.

Gift Funding

Family members, non-profit agencies, non-occupant co-borrowers, local state and provincial agencies, domestic partners, and trade unions are all potential contributors. Remember to gather proper documentation, as lenders often require confirmation that the funds are a genuine gift rather than a loan.

Non-Occupant Co-Borrowers

Non-occupant co-borrowing pairs a financially stronger co-borrower with a homebuyer, enhancing the application for better approval odds and favorable terms. Ideal for first-time buyers or those who may not meet financial criteria independently.

Using a 401k

Some employers allow employees to borrow from their 401(k) for purposes like a real estate down payment. Repayment terms are usually five years, potentially longer for home purchases. If an individual leaves their job, the outstanding loan balance becomes due immediately, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration.
