Can I get a loan for a down payment?

Typically, you can't get a loan for a down payment,” says Valdes. Most unsecured personal loan lenders forbid their loans from being used for real estate, and most secured loans — like home equity loans or HELOCs — require you to already have a house you can put up as collateral.

How do I qualify for first

A prospective homebuyer must:.
Be a first-time homebuyer..
Complete a homebuyer education course taught by an HPD-approved counseling agency..
Have their own savings to contribute to the down payment or closing costs..
Meet program income eligibility requirements..

What do you meant by down payment?

A down payment is a sum of money that a buyer pays in the early stages of purchasing an expensive good or service. The down payment represents a portion of the total purchase price, and the buyer will often take out a loan to finance the remainder.

Which loan is best for first

An FHA loan has lower down payment requirements and is easier to qualify for than a conventional loan. FHA loans are excellent for first-time homebuyers because, in addition to lower up-front loan costs and less stringent credit requirements, you can make a down payment as low as 3.5%.
