CONVENTIONAL LOANS
Conventional loans are mortgage products offered by private lenders and not insured or guaranteed by the government. They typically require a down payment of at least 3% to 20% of the home's purchase price, depending on the lender and borrower qualifications. Conventional loans often have competitive interest rates and are popular among borrowers with strong credit histories and stable income.
FHA( Federal Housing Administration)
These loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, making them attractive to first-time homebuyers with lower down payment requirements, typically set at 3.5%. When combined with down payment assistance programs, borrowers may have minimal upfront costs, potentially bringing no money to the closing table. These loans also offer competitive interest rates and are accessible to borrowers with less-than-perfect credit histories.
VA LOANS (Veterans Affairs)
VA Loans are exclusively available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and qualifying military spouses, allowing them to finance a home's entire purchase price without needing a down payment and avoiding monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI).

USDA loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are designed to help moderate to low-income households in rural and suburban areas purchase homes with little to no down payment.

USDA loans also include options for financing closing costs and can be used for both new purchases and refinancing existing mortgages.
DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE
(DPA) programs are initiatives designed to help homebuyers cover a portion or all of their down payment and sometimes closing costs when purchasing a home.
