First time home buyer loan advice.

Looking for advice. I'm looking at getting my first home. And I would like to ask. Who would you go through?

How would you finance your home?

What should I look for?

What should I avoid when seeking a loan?

Is there creative ways to get a first home you wish you knew about, that I can try to do?

I live in sioux falls south dakota. If that matters. Looking to buy for my family. Trying to keep payments low as possible. Any advice is appreciated.

Yeah, that would be great to find something like that. Thank you I will search around for those options. Thank you.


 Just a heads up, a lot of the down payment assistance programs come with higher interest rates and other hooks. For example: Some require you to repay the money if you sell/refi or move out of the property within 5-7 years. If you're comfortable with living on the outskirts of Sioux Falls, the no money down USDA loan may be a perfect option for you. Feel free to reach out if you need help or info on the USDA program.
