Different financing options are available.  Talk with the lender of your choice and have them explain all the various options that they offer.  They should, based on the information you provide, pre-qualify you for a maximum mortgage amount.  This will help you define your price range.  Remember to make allowances for taxes and insurance in your estimates.

Some of the program options to explore with your financial institution may include:

• First time home buyer programs
• Special programs for Militiary, Law Enforcement & Health Care Providers.
• Downpayment assistance programs
• Interest Rate Buy-Down options
• Seller and/or Lender Closing Cost assistance
