The basics

What is a home purchase loan?

A home purchase loan (or “purchase mortgage”) is financing used to buy a property — you make a down payment, and the lender covers the rest, which you repay over time with interest. The loan is secured by the home itself, meaning the lender has a right to the property if payments aren’t made. Purchase loans come in several forms — conventional, FHA, and VA are the most common — each with different down payment and credit requirements suited to different buyers.

Eligibility

Who qualifies?

Every borrower is different, but most purchase loans look at these factors:

Financing options

Down payment options.

You don’t need 20% down to buy. Here’s what’s actually available.

Conventional

As low as 3% down

Conventional loans offer competitive rates for buyers with solid credit, with down payments starting around 3-5% for qualified borrowers.

FHA

As low as 3.5% down

Government-backed FHA loans allow lower credit scores and smaller down payments — a popular choice for first-time buyers.

Down Payment Assistance

Up to $10,000

Qualified first-time buyers can receive up to $10,000 toward down payment and closing costs through our First-Time Buyer Program.
