💰 For First-Time Home Buyers
First-time buyers now make up nearly 30% of the market, and there are more opportunities than ever to make homeownership possible:
✅ Reduced Rates — Programs offering up to 0.25%–0.50% lower rates
✅ Low Down Payments — As little as 3–5% down (vs. traditional 20%)
✅ Lower Mortgage Insurance — More affordable monthly payments
✅ Flexible Credit Options — Higher DTI & lower FICO accepted
✅ Closing Cost Assistance — DPA programs offer 2–5% assistance
🏠 For Homeowners – FHA & VA Streamline Refinance Options
💡 FHA Streamline:
- No appraisal required, no income docs needed
- Must lower rate by at least 0.5%
- Reduced closing costs & faster closings
- Easier credit standards
💡 VA IRRRL:
- Similar to FHA with additional perks
- No COE or DD214 required
- May shorten loan term
- Often allows skipping one or two payments
