How to Buy a Home with Government Programs

Want to buy a home but worried about the down payment, closing costs, credit, or monthly payment? In this free home buying webinar, mortgage expert Joe Soto breaks down down payment assistance programs, first-time home buyer programs, home buyer grants, and government programs that may help make buying a home more affordable.

In this video, you’ll learn: How much money you may actually need to buy a home Why you may NOT need 20% down How down payment assistance programs work Programs that may help with down payment and closing costs Home buyer grants and assistance programs Options for buyers with limited savings Why some programs are NOT limited to first-time home buyers How previous homeowners may still qualify for assistance How credit, income and debt affect your home buying options Why keeping some of your savings in reserve may make sense How to determine what monthly mortgage payment you can comfortably afford What to do if you’re not ready to buy a home today Joe also shares real-world examples of buyers who thought homeownership wasn’t possible until they learned what programs and financing options were actually available to them.
