first time home buyer – owner loan

blog for first time home buyers

Can I get a loan other than an FHA and still get the first time home buyer tax credit?

asked:


Trying to buy a foreclosure as a first time home buyer. The house needs a little work (slight water damage, floors, paint) so I dont think I will be able to get an FHA loan. I want to do the work myself. If I get another type of loan will I still qualify for the first time home buyer credit?

    Yes but it all depends on how much you make , how much assets you own bank accounts etc.. you may even qualify for some grants talk to a bank mortgage lender talking is free & there is no commitment you could even talk to a few & may be get a better deal. Good luck.

    Watch out for scamers.

    Try to find the NACA program in your area as I know is a good program with low interest and not down payment ….and is excellent for first time homebuyers

    The tax credit does not require FHA. In fact only a small percentage of purchases are FHA.

    You can use any kind of loan you want other then a construction loan, you have to be able to reside in the house.

    yes, but you will probably need a larger down payment

    Foreclosures are more complicated and risky too – it might close by 11/30 and then you would lose the credit
