Think you need income, credit and assets to buy a home?

Actually, you really only need two of the three!

1) No credit score or credit history? This is more common than you might think. Expats and foreigners with a work visa who have verifiable income and at least 20% down can buy a home without any credit score or history!

2) No verifiable income? When alternative income programs like bank statement programs fall short, a buyer with good credit and ample down payment (usually 20%+) can purchase a home with no income documentation whatsoever. These aren’t the old “stated income” programs - Arbor’s “no income” program is just that - a big blank in the income field of the loan application.

3) Zero down home loan program - historically, the VA loan program was about the only program buyers could use to avoid a down payment. But brokers at Arbor Financial Group have access to special “CRA programs” that provide 100% financing to qualified buyers in eligible census tracts.

If your goal is to buy a home, working with a trustworthy mortgage broker with access to a broad range of home loan programs can make all the difference.

For more information on any of these options or for to see what loan program(s) would be the best fit for you, reach out today!

Buying a home doesn’t have to mean stretching your budget right away. A temporary rate buydown can lower your monthly payments for the first 1–3 years — and sometimes, the seller pays for it!

I’ve created a free cheat sheet that breaks down:
• How much you could save each month
• The one-time cost to the seller
• How buydowns can help buyers qualify

📩 Comment “BUYDOWN” and I’ll send it over.

📞 Call me at 760-566-8829 to see if your next offer could include a buydown.
