If saving for a down payment has you thinking homeownership is out of reach, there may be options worth exploring.

The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) offers programs that may provide down payment assistance to eligible homebuyers, helping make the path to homeownership more manageable.

Every situation is different, and program guidelines and eligibility requirements apply. The best way to know what options may be available to you is to talk with a loan professional.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelmingโ€”especially when affordability challenges are keeping many buyers on the sidelines.

According to the National Association of REALTORSยฎ 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, first-time buyers represented just 21% of home purchasesโ€”the lowest level recorded since 1981.

The good news? Programs like USDA Rural Development (RD) loans may help eligible buyers achieve homeownership with:
โœ”๏ธ 0% down for eligible borrowers
โœ”๏ธ Competitive interest rates
โœ”๏ธ Flexible qualifying guidelines
โœ”๏ธ Eligible properties in many areas you might not expect

You don't have to navigate the process alone. Reach out to see if an RD loan could be a fit for you.

Last nightโ€™s Great Gatsby-themed LMBA Awards was a beautiful evening of celebrating hard work, dedication and the people behind the numbers. ๐Ÿฅ‚

Iโ€™m especially proud to see our Covington loan officers recognized for their outstanding production and Michelle Acosta recognized as a Best in Biz award recipient. Michelle gives so much to our team while continuing to take care of her own clients as a loan originator, and Iโ€™m thrilled to see her recognized for all that she brings to the table.

So proud of this team and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate these accomplishments together! โค๏ธ
