However, there are several profitable programs in the United States aimed at helping residents of the United States acquire their first home of their own. Their list was collected edition Bankrate.

1. FHA guaranteed loan

The Federal Housing Authority is the guarantor of your mortgage, if you take such a loan. FHA is an agency with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

FHA support offers lenders an extra level of protection, which means that your lender will not tolerate losses if you are unable to pay your mortgage, which increases the likelihood that you will get favorable loan terms.

FHA guaranteed loans usually have lower interest rates than other mortgage loans, and also offer lower down payments.

If your credit score is 580 or higher, you can get an FHA-guaranteed mortgage with a down payment as low as 3,5% of the home's price. If your credit score is below 580, you can still qualify for an FHA mortgage, but the down payment will be at least 10% of the purchase price.

2. USDA loan

Few people know, but the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a program to help home buyers.

The program focuses on homes in rural areas, but you don’t need to buy a farm or farm your acquired home.

Many USDA mortgage loans are provided without a down payment, and loan payments are fixed.

Applicants with a credit rating of 640 points and above are usually eligible for simplified processing of their applications, which requires fewer documents. If your credit rating is below 640 points, you can still qualify for a loan from the USDA, but the lender will ask for additional documentation about your financial situation.

3. Loan of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

The US Department of Veterans Affairs helps the military and veterans purchase a home.

VA loans are provided with lower interest rates and do not require a down payment, in addition, this program does not provide the minimum credit rating required for obtaining a loan.

If it is difficult for the borrower to make mortgage payments, the VA may negotiate with the lender on behalf of the borrower and agree to defer or change the conditions.

4. Good Neighbor Next Door Program

Program Good Neighbor Next DoorSponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides assistance in the purchase of housing for law enforcement officials, firefighters, medical and educational institutions.

With this program, an eligible applicant can receive a discount of up to 50% of the price of a house in regions where the authorities want to increase the number of population or stop its outflow.
