Homebuyers in Illinois
Here are the types of mortgages we offer to first time homebuyers:
Conventional
A conventional mortgage simply is one that is not insured by a government agency like the VA or FHA. Borrowers in Kansas looking to purchase a home with a conventional loan are generally in the market for a conforming mortgage. That is one that falls within the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits. The down payment for a conventional mortgage can be as low as 3%.
Learn MoreFHA
One of the top loan products first time homebuyers ask us about are FHA mortgages. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans offer easy credit qualifications, affordable interest rates, and down payments as low as 3.5%.
Learn MoreVA
For first time homebuyers who have served in our nation’s military, VA mortgages offer the opportunity to purchase a home with zero down, affordable interest rates, and easy credit qualifications.
Learn MoreJumbo
Do you need to borrow above the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conforming loan limits? As a first time homebuyer, you are welcome to apply for a non-conforming loan, also called a “jumbo” mortgage. With our network of lenders, we can bring you competitive jumbo loan offers that bring your dream home within reach.

Are you wondering whether it is possible to purchase your first home if you do not have a Social Security card? With an ITIN loan, we can make it happen.
Learn MoreBank Statement Loans
Not every borrower applying for their first mortgage has a traditional employment situation. If you are self-employed or own your own business, you can apply for your first mortgage without a W2 by applying through our bank statement loan process.
