Low Down Payment Optionss

What is a Low Down Payment Options?

The 20%-down rule is a myth left over from another era. Today's first-time buyers close on great homes with as little as 0% down using a VA loan, 3% with conventional, or 3.5% with FHA.

The right program depends on your military status, location, credit, and goals. We screen every borrower across all available programs — including state down-payment assistance — and show you the lowest-cost path to your keys.

Sometimes the best move is to put less down and keep cash for reserves, repairs, and emergencies. A skilled loan officer can help you weigh the tradeoffs.

You don't need 20% down to buy a home. With the right program, you can close with as little as 0% — and we'll match you to the lowest-down option you qualify for.
