First Time Home Buyer Loans
Hurst Lending & Insurance helps hundreds of first time home buyers through the mortgage process every year. We will work with you to figure out the best first time home buyer loan for your situation. We offer several kinds of loans that are particularly popular with first-time home buyers. Among them are:
- FHA Loans
- Texas Vet Loans/VA Loans, if qualified
- No PMI Loans (alternatives to private mortgage insurance for those without a 20% down payment)
These programs are all designed for buyers who haven’t had the time to build up a large down payment.
The FHA and VA loans have lower qualification requirements and very low closing costs, which makes them excellent first time home buyer loans. As of late 2014, we are also able to offer FHA and VA loans for buyers who are building new homes, with one-time close loans that can include land, construction and mortgage.
We’d love to talk with you about the best options for your needs. Please contact us at 877-292-7350 or contact us online.
