Affordable, Low Down Payment Loan Options for First-Time Home Buyers

Up to 90% Loan-to-Value (LTV) with zero PMI

A lower down payment requirement can make homebuying more affordable for first-time homebuyers. To be considered a first-time homebuyer, you must be purchasing a home intended as a primary residence and cannot have owned a home at any point in your lifetime. Our first-time homebuyer loans can help make owning your own home a reality.

  • Must be a resident of Anne Arundel County, Maryland
  • Up to 90% LTV with zero PMI
  • We offer competitive mortgage rates

If your financial situation allows you to make a more substantial down payment (20%), you may qualify for a conventional loan which could help lower your monthly principal and interest payments.
