🏡 Think you need 20% down to buy your first home? Not always!
A 20% down payment may be helpful in some situations, but it isn’t a universal requirement. Depending on your qualifications, goals, and the property, you may have other options:
✅ Conventional loans: as little as 3% down
✅ FHA loans: as little as 3.5% down
✅ VA loans: 0% down for eligible borrowers
✅ USDA loans: 0% down for eligible borrowers
✅ Down payment assistance programs may also be available
Every homebuyer’s situation is different, and loan guidelines can vary. That’s why it helps to review your options before assuming you need to save 20%.
Whether you’re buying your first home in Elko or elsewhere in Nevada, Arizona, or Idaho, I’m here to make the process clear and comfortable: without pressure. 🗝️
