The First Time Homebuyer

Generally classified as someone who has never purchased a home, but in some instances, a homebuyer can qualify for down payment assistance through grants and loan programs. Some programs allow previous homeownership – see specific programs for details.

The buying process for a first-time homebuyer is the same as any homebuyer. 


You are qualified based on income and assets, and you shop the market for a home within the criteria specified by your mortgage lender. You then close under the guidelines of your lending program. The difference is where you obtain your down-payment funds.
