First-Time Home Buyer Loans and Down Payment Assistance
What a first purchase actually involves: how much you need saved, which programs reduce the down payment, and the order the steps happen in from pre-approval to keys.
Many first-time buyers qualify for FHA loans with 3.5% down, conventional options from 3% down, VA loans with $0 down for those who served, or USDA loans in eligible areas. Down payment assistance may also be available. Call (415) 465-3443 to get started.
