Because both the federal and state governments have long believed in homeownership as a key driver of personal and generational wealth, there are certain programs, policies and products in place to provide incentives to first-time homeowners. The following are some of the government programs for first-time homebuyers you can take advantage of.

  • Conventional loans with low down payments options. Credit scores must be at least 620.
  • FHA loan: A popular federally backed loan program for buyers with lower credit scores, and down payment options.
  • USDA loan: down payment options on designated rural and suburban properties.
  • VA loan: Home loans for service members (and their spouse) with down payment options.
  • State first-time home buyer programs: Many state housing authorities offer an array of discounts to first-time homebuyers in their respective states, including down payment options, help with closing costs and tax credits.** Check with your specific state to learn more.
  • Dollar Homes: These are foreclosed homes for sale by the government at reduced prices. Check the HUD website for more information.
  • Good Neighbor Next Door: Home price discounts for law-enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders and educators. In an effort to foster neighborhood revitalization, discounts can be as much as 50% off the list price of a home. Check the listings in your state to see what is available.
