Buying your first home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
There’s a lot to figure out when buying your first home — down payments, credit, loan programs, interest rates, closing costs, and figuring out how much you can actually afford.
We created a simple First-Time Homebuyer Guide to help you understand the process before you ever make an offer.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn:
- How the mortgage pre-approval process works
- How much money you may need for a down payment
- The difference between Conventional, FHA, VA & USDA loans
- What closing costs are and how much to plan for
- How interest rates and points affect your payment
- What happens after your offer is accepted
- Common mistakes to avoid before closing
- Mortgage terms you’ll hear throughout the process
You don’t have to have everything figured out before talking to a lender.
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from first-time buyers is that they need perfect credit, a huge down payment, or thousands of dollars saved before they can even start the conversation.
That’s not always the case.
At Black Diamond Mortgage, we’re mortgage brokers. That means we’re able to work with a variety of lenders and loan programs rather than trying to fit every buyer into one bank’s box.
Whether you’re ready to buy now or you’re trying to make a plan for next year, we’re happy to help you understand your options.
Not ready to apply? That’s okay. Ask us a question.
