First Time Home Buyer Down Payment

Maryland Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Mortgage Centre:

  • A Federal Housing Administration Loan (FHA) is to help Marylanders purchase and refinance with reduced down payments and reduced costs.  You do not need to be a first time home buyer to utilize the programs insured by FHA.
  • FHA purchase loans require only 3.5% of the purchase price for down payment and the entire amount can come from a gift of funds from a family member.
  • FHA also offers a variety of refinance options with zero out of pocket, zero closing costs and no money needed at closing.
  • Take advantage of FHA to cash-out and pay off higher rate credit cards, auto loans, student loans or use the funds as you choose.
