07/07/2008, " Great Time to be a First Time Buyer" Contrary to popular beliefs, there are still good loan programs out there for first time, low income, or owner occupied properties. Through the USDA, SC Housing and FHA , a buyer is still able to purchase with little or no money down with very good interest rates starting around 5.875%. These programs however can be complicated and buyers need to work with lenders who are experts in the stipulations associated with each program. I recommend that one chooses their lender wisely.

You are not kidding on both points. FHA is a GREAT program for many buyers right now, but should not be taken on without the guidence of a seasoned professional. Those two things have made deals happen that otherwise would not have. All the best!
