You’ve crafted the perfect offer. But now you need to figure out how to pay for it. Financing a home purchase can be complicated, especially if you’re a first-time homebuyer. Let’s break down some of the different mortgage options available and how you can navigate them effectively.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, an FHA loan could be a great option. These loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and often have more lenient credit and down payment requirements than conventional loans. With an FHA loan, you can put down as little as 3.5% of the purchase price. This can be a game-changer if you don’t have a lot of cash saved up for a down payment.

FHA loans have their perks, but they also come with a few drawbacks. One of the biggest? The mortgage insurance premiums. They can add a chunk to your monthly payment, which might not be ideal for everyone. Another thing to keep in mind is that the amount you can borrow is limited based on where you live.
