How do I buy a house as a first-time buyer?
Get preapproved, look into first-time buyer loans and down payment programs, find a home, make an offer with contingencies that protect you, then complete inspection, appraisal and closing. ListingCraft for Buyers walks first-time buyers through the home search, showing requests, offers and the closing checklist on iPhone.
First-time buyers often qualify for low down payment loans (such as FHA or conventional programs with as little as 3% down) and state or local down payment assistance. Ask lenders what you qualify for.
ListingCraft for Buyers explains each piece in plain English: cash to close, contingencies, earnest money and every deadline after your offer is accepted.
