There are several loan programs for first time home buyers (a first time home buyer is someone who has not owned a home during the past three years).  First time home buyers can borrow up to 97% of the purchase price depending on the loan program.  The various types of financing include conventional, FHA, PHFA and USDA.  Conventional and PHFA financing utilizes private mortgage insurers (PMI).  An FHA loan is insured by the Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) and the USDA program is backed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  The Pennsylvania Home Finance Agency ('PHFA") provides financing up to 97% of the purchase price with a credit score of 660 and above, and 95% financing with a credit score below 660.  The PHFA also provides closing cost assistance and renovation funds for those who qualify.  The ("USDA")provides financing for up to 100% of the purchase price for properties in less populous areas.  Many suburban areas in the Philadelphia region qualify so contact us to confirm if an area where you're looking to purchase is within USDA guidelines.  Call us today to determine the best program for your needs!
