Common Loan Options For Minnesota First Time Home Buyers

  • FHA LOAN - Perhaps the most common home loan for first time home buyers, FHA loans require only 3.5% down, and the maximum loan amount is as high as $365,000.
  • VA LOAN- Specifically designed for veterans and armed services personnel, VA loans offer the advantage of zero money down and often include a rate that’s much more favorable than conventional financing.
  • USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - Did you know that 97% of the country is designated for rural purposes, allowing the USDA Rural Development Program to be a much more realistic home loan option than you may think.
