The Ideal Mortgage to Buy Your First Home in Ohio
We offer a wide spectrum of loan products which are suitable for first time homebuyers in OH:
FHA
One of the top loan products we offer for first time homebuyers is FHA loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Relaxed qualification requirements, a down payment of just 3.5% and affordable mortgage rates all make FHA loans ideally suited to borrowers buying their first homes.
VA
For active duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses who have served our country, we proudly offer zero down VA loans insured by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
USDA
First-time homebuyers in search of an affordable, flexible loan might also want to check into the USDA rural housing loan program backed by the US Department of Agriculture. Like FHA and VA, USDA loans feature relaxed qualification requirements and low interest rates. You also may qualify for discounted mortgage insurance and zero down payment on your first home.
Conventional
First-time homebuyers should not overlook the many advantages of conventional home loans in OH, including down payments as low as 3%.
Jumbo
Being in the market for your first home does not put you out of the market for a jumbo loan. To qualify for a loan above the conforming loan limits, you need a sufficient credit score, DTI ratio, employment history and cash reserves.
