During this video, I give you an overall view of some things you need to know to be ready to purchase your first home. I would also like to add that in addition to the down payment mentioned, I would also like to mention that buyer closing costs could be up to 2-2.5%. This might seem like a lot at a glance but there are options available for you. Ask me what are your options.
Also, there are some banks who will still lend under a 640 FICO score and might still have down payment assistance programs right now, but with changes in the industry due to the current pandemic, most banks got stricter on their requirements. However, don’t get discouraged by this. An experienced Realtor in partnership with a good lender can help you through the process.
Remember you can always contact me with questions on purchasing your first home.
