Understanding Your Mortgage Options as a First-Time Buyer

Conventional Loans: The Standard Choice

Typically require higher credit scores but offer flexible terms and generally lower borrower costs over the long run, especially if you can put 20% down. Down payments as low as 3% are available for first-time buyers.

  • Minimum Down Payment: 3%
  • Best For: Buyers with good credit scores (620+) and stable employment history.

FHA Loans: Low Down Payment, Flexible Credit

Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, these loans make homeownership accessible. While highly flexible, they require Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) regardless of down payment size, which adds to the monthly cost.

  • Minimum Down Payment: 3.5%
  • Best For: Buyers with lower credit scores (580+) or limited upfront savings.

Zero-Down Options (VA, USDA)

For qualifying military service members and veterans, VA loans offer 100% financing and no PMI. USDA loans offer 100% financing for properties in eligible rural areas. Fyreglaide specializes in navigating these unique programs.

  • Minimum Down Payment: 0%
  • Best For: Qualified military families (VA) and those purchasing in designated rural zones (USDA).

Quick Definitions: What's the Difference?

Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qualification: A Pre-Qualification is an estimate. A Pre-Approval is a lender's formal commitment based on verified income and credit, making your offer significantly stronger. We insist on full pre-approval.

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance): Required by lenders when your down payment is less than 20% on a Conventional loan. We show you how to eliminate it post-closing.

First-Time Buyer FAQs

While 20% is the traditional benchmark to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), Fyreglaide regularly assists first-time buyers with 3% (Conventional) and 3.5% (FHA) down options. We focus on securing any closing cost grants to minimize your true cash-to-close amount.
Yes, absolutely. Lenders look at your Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio, not just the total balance. We work with lenders who understand student loan repayment plans and can correctly factor that monthly payment into your DTI, allowing you to qualify effectively.
Typically, once you are pre-approved and begin your search, the period from finding a home to closing escrow is 30 to 45 days. Our exclusive 7-Step Roadmap is designed to streamline your preparatory phase (Step 1-3) to minimize delays once you find the perfect house.
In competitive markets, this can happen. Fyreglaide provides honest, objective advice on when to walk away versus when to raise an offer. Through strategic negotiation tactics like offering quick closes or flexible contingencies, we aim to make your offer shine even if it isn’t the highest price.
