First Time Home Buyer Classes
 
Purchasing a home for the first time is truly one of life’s milestones. Homeownership is a worthy goal, and thanks to a variety of available financing options, it is a goal that is now in reach for more people. Today’s low mortgage rates make this a historically attractive time to buy, and new first time homebuyer loan programs in Minnesota and Wisconsin have helped to make the home loan application process simpler than ever before. Like any important goal in life, homeownership is a substantial responsibility, and there are a number of critical steps necessary to make the dream of buying that first home a reality.
 
It all starts with understanding the
Ownership vs Rent benefits. While everyone’s individual financial situation varies, you need to make sure financing is in place BEFORE you start looking at homes or talking to Real Estate Agents. This is where we come in.
 
We will hold your hand from A to Z. The prospect of home ownership is clearly rewarding; however, the process of applying for a home loan and selecting a property can seem daunting – especially for first-time buyers. It really isn't. We assist consumers in understanding and navigating the details of home loan application, and answering ALL of your questions. It all starts with Applying For Your Loan with our FREE NO OBLGATION one hour decision system!
 
 
Once you have applied, we will walk you through all your options, and make sure you know What To Expect, although the actual approval process is fairly straight forward. (Learn More)
 
We offer many of the 1st time home buyer loan program available in MN and WI. We also work with just about all the grant, assistance, and other programs down payment assistance programs available from city, state, county, and federal government programs for first time homebuyers.
 
When we are done, we will issure you a "pre-approval" letter, and put you in contact with a qualified, real estate professional who will help you find, negotiate, and close on your dream home. Many people go from renter to owner in as little as 45 days!
  

Finding the right home starts with a great search tool

 

Buying a home is something we all dream about, usually for years. You may not have been able to save for a down payment, and therefore figured you could not buy a home. In today's mortgage market, a down payment is usualy required. But an FHA loan is just 3.50% down, and you can use your own money, get it as a gift, or use a city, county, state, or other assistance program for the down payment.
 
True zero down payment home loans are also avaialble with VA loans, or USDA Rural Development loans, both of which we offer!

Stop renting. Start building your financial future, and get all your home owner tax benefits! We can show you how you'll be able to afford a home sooner, and you'll probably be able to afford more home than you think!
