First Time Home Buyer?
For professional guidance, make sure you choose a REALTOR. The whole process may be intimidating, but as a Real Estate expert, it's my job to guide you from beginning to end. This is a service that you don't pay for as the commission on a home you choose is paid by the seller.
We will consider the following options for you:
What you can afford and how to qualify for a mortgage.
How much cash to put down or how to purchase a home for little or nothing down.

When buying a home, there are many details that need to be considered. One of the services I provide as your buyers agent is to put you in contact with the very best service professionals in the industry. From a lending standpoint, I will help you secure the very best loan program, rate, and terms to meet the needs of your particular situation. Specifically, if you are a first time buyer, or putting less than 20% down, I can help you access special loan programs.
The first program is for first time homebuyers and is known as MHDC "First Place Program". (www.mhdc.com) Since there are only a handful of lenders in the St. Louis Metro area offering this loan, it is sometimes referred to as, "The Best Kept Secret in Town." There is a new issue of $10 million and when it is gone there may not be another offering for awhile. Here are the program highlights:
Below market interest rates
- May be eligible for 1/2 % down payment
- Maximum sales prices: $258,690 single family detached homes, condo’s in a non-target area, $316,177 in a target area
- Maximum income for 1-2 persons $67,900 non-target area and $81,480 in a target area
- All borrowers must be first time buyers, or have not owned a home in last 3 years
- All borrowers must occupy the property
FHA Loans are an excellent way for 1st time home buyers to purchase a home and you can put as little as 3.5% down. On FHA, ratios of 31% (for housing expense to income) and 43% (for total debt to income) cannot be exceeded.
VA Loans: 100% VA loan up to a purchase price of $417,000
So whether you can qualify as a first time buyer, or you're looking for a special financing, I can provide you the resources to get the very best rate and terms available.
