First-Time Home Buyer Loans FAQ

How much down payment do I actually need?
Often far less than people expect — as little as $0 (VA/USDA) or 3–3.5% (conventional/FHA), and down payment assistance can reduce that further.
What credit score do I need to buy a house?
There's a program for a wide range of scores. Let's look at where you are today and build a simple plan to get you approved.
