You don't need 20% down to buyNo necesitas el 20% de enganche

One of the biggest myths in real estate is that you need a 20% down payment and perfect credit to buy a home. For most first-time buyers in Columbus, that simply isn't true. Between low-down-payment loans and local assistance programs, many of our clients get into a home with a fraction of that, sometimes with little or nothing down.

Here are the programs we most often help first-time buyers explore:

  • FHA loans with as little as 3.5% down and flexible credit
  • OHFA (Ohio Housing Finance Agency) down payment assistance and grants
  • ITIN loans for buyers without a Social Security number
  • VA and USDA loans with 0%-down options for those who qualify

Common questionsPreguntas frecuentes

Frequently asked questionsPreguntas frecuentes

How much money do I need to buy my first home in Columbus?

It depends on the loan, but many first-time buyers need far less than they expect. FHA loans start at 3.5% down, and programs like OHFA can help cover part of your down payment and closing costs. We'll review your situation and give you a real number, for free.

Can I buy a home without a Social Security number?

Often, yes. ITIN mortgage loans are designed for buyers who file taxes with an ITIN instead of an SSN. Many hardworking immigrant families qualify. Learn more on our ITIN loans page.Muchas veces, sí. Los préstamos hipotecarios ITIN son para quienes declaran impuestos con un ITIN en lugar de un SSN. Conoce más en nuestra página de préstamos ITIN.
