Affordable Lending

Affordable Lending Solutions

Affordable lending solutions create successful homeownership paths for those with moderate incomes, limited savings for down payment and closing costs, and credit or budgeting concerns. Homebridge can help prospective homebuyers find the right path to fit their current financial situation. But first, let’s dispel some of the reasons that may be preventing you from buying a home.

Challenging Mortgage Myths:

Educating yourself with helpful information is the first step to homeownership, and there are loan programs designed with first-time homebuyers in mind. Buying a home does not require all borrowers to have 20% or more for a down payment. Some programs may require little to no upfront monetary investment, such as FHA, VA and USDA loans. You may be able to apply for down payment assistance in your area. There are also programs that cover some of the closing costs. Please note that some lenders require additional mortgage insurance when putting down less than 20%.
While having a lower debt-to-income ratio may get you a better interest rate, you do not need to be debt-free to buy a home. We can help find a product for which you can qualify while you continue paying off your debts. There is no need to pay off your student loan debt before buying a home. Recent changes made it even easier for those with student loan debt to qualify for a home loan.¹
Some affordable lending programs allow homebuyers to obtain financing despite having previous credit issues, bankruptcies, and other financial concerns. You can work on strengthening your credit while getting guidance on buying your first home.
The right time to buy is when you feel ready. The market will always be changing, but if you are ready to be a homeowner, then we can find a program for you.
While this may depend upon the area you live in, there may be some truth to this in the short term. However, if you plan on renting for more than a year or two, you should look into purchasing a home. Mortgage payments are stable, with a fixed-rate, whereas your rent will likely rise annually. Chat with a Mortgage Loan Originator about the cost difference in your area.

As you can see, there are many myths about what it takes to become a homeowner. It is important to understand that Homebridge has extensive expertise in affordable lending solutions. If you qualify for one of these programs, you may be able to obtain closing cost and down payment assistance (lowering your out-of-pocket cost) and other financial assistance to help you get into that first home. Every year thousands of Americans accomplish what they thought was impossible by using affordable lending programs to become proud homeowners.
