Hey there, Triangle home hopefuls! Looking to buy your first place but worried about the down payment or qualifying for a mortgage? Don’t sweat it! There are fantastic government-backed programs and incentives available to help first-time homebuyers like you bridge the gap and achieve your dream of homeownership.

Government Powerhouse: FHA Loans

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers a fantastic option for first-time buyers with its loan program. FHA loans require a lower minimum credit score and down payment compared to traditional mortgages, making them a great way to get your foot in the door.

Going Rural? USDA Loans Might Be Perfect

Living the rural dream? The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers home loan programs specifically for those looking to buy in qualifying rural areas. These loans often require no down payment at all!

Serving Our Heroes: VA Loans

Our veterans deserve all the support we can give them, and homeownership is no exception. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers home loan programs with excellent benefits for veterans, active-duty service members, and their spouses.

Beyond the Basics: Additional Programs

There are even more programs available depending on your specific situation. HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door program offers discounts on homes in revitalization areas for teachers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMTs. Additionally, some states and localities offer their own down payment assistance programs.
