FAQs – First-Time Homebuyer & Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Loans with Jack Jacobs
What is a First-Time Homebuyer Loan?
A First-Time Homebuyer Loan is designed to make homeownership more accessible by offering lower down payments, flexible credit requirements, and financial assistance programs. These loans can include government-backed options like FHA, VA, and USDA loans, as well as conventional 3% down programs. Jack Jacobs specializes in helping first-time buyers navigate these options and find the best financing solution.
Do I qualify as a first-time homebuyer?
You qualify as a first-time homebuyer if you haven’t owned a home in the past three years. Even if you’ve owned a home before, you may still be eligible for DPA programs and first-time buyer incentives. Jack Jacobs will review your situation and help determine which programs you qualify for.
What are Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Programs?
DPA programs provide grants, low-interest loans, or forgivable loans to help first-time buyers cover down payments and closing costs. These programs are offered at the local, state, and federal levels and can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Jack Jacobs helps buyers apply for the best available DPA options.
How much do I need for a down payment as a first-time buyer?
Many first-time buyer programs allow you to buy a home with as little as 3% down. For example:
- FHA Loans – 3.5% down payment, credit-friendly
- VA & USDA Loans – 0% down for eligible borrowers
- Conventional 97 Loans – 3% down for qualified buyers
- DPA programs can reduce or eliminate this upfront cost.
Jack Jacobs will guide you through the best options based on your financial situation.
What credit score do I need for a First-Time Homebuyer Loan?
Most first-time buyer programs have flexible credit requirements:
- FHA Loans – As low as 580 (or 500 with a 10% down payment)
- Conventional Loans – Usually 620+, but better rates for 700+
- VA & USDA Loans – No set minimum, but typically 580-620+
If your credit isn’t perfect, Jack can help you improve your score before applying.
