What Type Of Loan Can You Use to Buy
Your First Home?
We can help you buy your first home with any of these types of mortgages:
A conventional mortgage simply is one that is not insured by a government agency like the VA or FHA. Borrowers in Massachusetts looking to purchase a home with a conventional loan are generally in the market for a conforming mortgage. That is one that falls within the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits. The down payment for a conventional mortgage can be as low as 3%.
First time homebuyers in Massachusetts often turn to the convenience and flexibility of FHA mortgages guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration. Down payments as low as 3.5%, affordable rates, and easy credit qualifications are among the features that make FHA mortgages popular for borrowers shopping for their first homes.
Current and retired members of the military shopping for their first homes will want to check if they are eligible for the VA loan program. With a mortgage guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, you can buy a home in Massachusetts with zero down, affordable interest rates, and no requirement for mortgage insurance period
Sometimes, the cost to purchase your first home might exceed the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits for conforming mortgages. But first time homebuyers can purchase Massachusetts properties with jumbo loans that exceed those loan limits.
