The best loan program for Frisco First Time Buyers is usually FHA due to the minimal down payment options and available seller contribution that is allows the seller to pay all the closing costs for the buyer. FHA requires a minimum of 3.5% of the purchase price to qualify for it’s home purchase program. For example on a $150,000 loan, the buyer can literally bring $5,250 to closing and negotiate for the seller to pay all the costs. This means the dollar amount needed at closing is only $5,250 for that example.
FHA downpayment must come from the buyers own money, or a close relative can gift part of in whole, that entire 3.5%. This is a very attractive detail for most first time buyers in Frisco and the surrounding Dallas cities.
The minimum credit score preferred for this loan is 640 and on case by case basis, 620 and up will work. It is important that you know, FHA allows a middle credit score as low as 580, but there is not a bank or lender that is qualifying loans under the 620 and most require 640.
