First-Time Home Buyer Government Programs for 2026

Image
First-Time Home Buyer Government Programs for 2026 Buying your first home can be challenging, especially when it comes to getting approved for a mortgage and coming up with the down payment. Thankfully, there are plenty of first-time home buyer government programs that can make things easier. Government loans for first-time home buyers There are several government loan options that are worth exploring if you need a little extra help qualifying for a mortgage: FHA loan:  580 credit score, 3.5% down HomeReady and Home Possible:  620-660 credit score, 3% down VA loan:  580-620 credit score, 0% down USDA loan:  640 credit score, 0% down FHA home loan FHA loans can help if you can’t afford a traditional 20% down payment or have a less-than-perfect credit score.

Why Your Current Loan Servicer or Bank May Not Offer You The Best Rates

Image
Low Overhead + Low Margins = Low Rates  A question that I am often asked is how I can offer a lower rate than the homeowner's current lender/servicer? As a wholesale broker and owner, I receive wholesale rates which are generally .25%-.50% lower than what a homeowner's current loan servicer will offer directly as they price rates as "retail" and not "wholesale". Their hope is that the homeowner does not question the fact the loan servicer is only handling the mortgage payments (most of the time Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or VA owns or insured the loan) and a  brand new loan  has to be originated on any refinance.  If you have any questions or would like to make sure that you are in the best mortgage available feel free to contact me.  And, as always, your referrals are greatly appreciated!   Bob McCormick, President   Toll Free 800-328-0144   Email-  McCormickLending@gmail.com Visit us at  www.McCormickLendingGroup.com
