TRUE OR FALSE?

You have to be a first-time homebuyer to qualify for a low-down-payment loan.

FALSE!

First-time buyers aren’t the only ones who can have access to low-down-payment mortgage options. Depending on the loan program and your qualifications, you may have options even if you’ve owned a home before.

The best way to know what you may qualify for is to have a conversation with a mortgage professional before counting yourself out.

Found the right house, but it needs some work?

A renovation doesn’t have to mean taking out a separate loan for every improvement. With a HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage, eligible renovation costs can be included in your mortgage, helping make it easier to turn a house into the home you want.

If renovations are part of your homeownership plans, I’d be happy to help you explore your options.

Getting to the closing table takes more than just finding the right home. What you do financially during the mortgage process can make a difference, too.

Once you’re under contract, remember to:

✔️ Avoid opening new credit
✔️ Wait on major purchases
✔️ Keep your employment and income consistent
✔️ Stay on top of requests from your lender

When in doubt, ask before making a big financial move. It’s always better to have a conversation first and know how it could affect your loan.

Not every dream home looks perfect on day one. Renovation financing can give qualified buyers another option when a home needs improvements to become the right fit.

Let’s settle this one: fireplace or outdoor fireplace?

There’s nothing quite like a warm fire at the end of the day. Would you rather have a cozy fireplace inside your home or an outdoor fireplace where you can gather with friends and enjoy the fresh air?

Which would you pick?

There’s something exciting about choosing the layout, finishes and features of a home that’s being built for you. If you’re considering new construction, understanding your financing options is an important first step.
