Common First-Time Buyer Myths
“You need 20% down.”
Not true! There are programs for much less—ask me how!“You must have excellent credit.”
Actually, many people qualify with average or even fair credit scores. Watch this 3-minute YouTube Video to learn more
The truth is that buying your first home doesn’t have to be scary or confusing. You don’t need a perfect credit score or a huge down payment. In fact, many first-time buyers get started with as little as 3.5% down and a credit score of 580. The most important things are having an income (with 2 years of work history), legal status in the United States, and a Social Security number. If you have questions, I’m here to make everything simple and clear.
