First-time Homeowner Services

The term first-time homeowner generally refers to an individual who purchases a principal residence for the very first time. First-time homebuyers often qualify for special benefits such as low down payments, special grants, and assistance with paying closing costs that are sponsored by state and federal governments. Many lenders also offer first-time homebuyers incentives and special loans.

There’s a lot to think about when buying a house – and it’s normal to have questions, especially if it’s your first time. You might be wondering about some general first-time home-owner, or the best way to get down payment assistance or help with your closing costs.

There are several loan programs for assistance with your down payment and closing costs, including charitable and government-sponsored programs. Local and federal tax credits can lessen the bite, and educational programs can offer help at every step.
