First Time Home Buyers

 

First of all, a first time home buyer is one who has not owned a home for the last three years.

 

40% of all first time homebuyers think they have to put down 20% to buy a home.  That is wrong, very wrong! 

 

37% of all homebuyers think they have to have perfect credit!  No,no.  Wrong.

 

To buy a home you will need to have a 3% down payment.  Closing costs will be about another 4%, but a seller can pay that for you.

 

For example  you buy an $80,000 home

Down would be      $2400

Closing would be   $3200

Total                      $5600
