Purchase Programs

Your front door is closer than you think.

Whether it's your first home or your fifth, the down payment doesn't have to be the wall. From 1%-down and 0%-down loans to programs built for veterans and medical professionals, there's likely a path that fits your situation.

Tell me a little about where you stand and I'll match you with the right program — and be there for every question along the way.

Programs I can match you with.

This is a starting point, not the full list — guidelines change and new options open up often. If you don't see your situation here, ask me anyway. There's a good chance there's a fit.

As little as 1% down

1% Down Program

You contribute 1% and the lender adds 2% — so you start with 3% equity from day one, with no surprise PMI. Built to take the biggest barrier off the table.

First-time & budget-conscious buyers

3.5% down

FHA Loan

Flexible credit guidelines and a low down payment make this one of the most accessible paths to ownership.

Lower-credit or first-time buyers

From 3% down

Conventional Loan

Competitive rates with PMI that cancels once you reach 20% equity — a strong fit when your credit is in good shape.

Buyers with solid credit

Up to 100% financing

Medical Professional Financing

Physician and dentist loans with little to no money down, no PMI, and flexible treatment of student-loan debt — even for residents and new grads.

Doctors, dentists & medical pros

0% down

VA Loan

For those who served: no down payment, no PMI, and some of the most competitive rates available.

Veterans, active duty & eligible spouses

0% down

USDA Rural

100% financing in eligible suburban and rural areas, with reduced mortgage-insurance costs.

Buyers in qualifying areas

Grants & second loans

Down Payment Assistance

State and local programs that help cover your down payment and closing costs — often stackable with the loans above.

Income-qualified buyers

Higher price points

Jumbo Financing

Flexible options for homes above conventional loan limits, including lower-down-payment jumbo programs.

Higher-value purchases

Program availability, rates, and eligibility depend on the lender and your individual qualifications. This is general information, not a commitment to lend or financial advice.

You're not behind.

If it's felt like homeownership is for everyone but you, it isn't. Renting a long time doesn't mean you missed your shot. You're right on time — and you don't have to figure this out alone.

Down payment isn't the wall.

From 1%-down and 3.5%-down loans to 0%-down options for veterans and medical professionals, these programs were built to lower the biggest barrier to ownership. We'll find the one that fits — often with little or no PMI.

I'll translate the jargon.

Escrow, PITI, DTI, points, contingencies — none of it has to feel like a foreign language. With my mortgage background, I'll walk you through every term until it actually makes sense. No question is too small.

We move at your pace.

No pressure, no rushing. We take the time you need to learn, ask, and feel ready. The right home is worth the patience to get there — and I'll be in your corner the whole way.

5–10 minutes

Take your time — there's no rush.
