"No deje que el pago inicial detenga su sueño." In Utah, you don't need 20% down to own a home. We specialize in leveraging state and city programs to keep your savings in your pocket.
Utah Housing Corporation (DPA)
This is the most reliable and widely used program in our community for first-time home buyers. It acts as a specialized 2nd mortgage that covers your down payment and a portion of your closing costs.
- Low Cash Entry: Designed to significantly reduce the amount of money you need at the closing table.
- Competitive Rates: Utah Housing offers interest rates that compete with traditional bank loans.
- Repeat Buyers Welcome: This isn't just for first-time buyers; if you are moving to your next home, you may still qualify.
Es el programa más seguro en Utah para quienes no quieren usar todos sus ahorros en la compra.
The $20,000 New Construction Grant
Through the Utah First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program, you can receive up to $20,000 specifically for newly built homes.
- Price Cap: Valid for new construction homes priced up to $450,000.
- Usage: These funds can be used for your down payment, closing costs, or to buy down your interest rate (reducing your monthly payment).
- Availability: These funds are "First-Come, First-Served." We monitor the balance daily to ensure your family doesn't miss out.
City-Specific Grants (Fondos Municipales)
Many cities across the Wasatch Front want to help you become a neighbor. We track grants from:
- Salt Lake City & West Valley
- West Jordan & Taylorsville
- Provo & Ogden
- These grants are often "forgivable" over time. We check the availability in every zip code where you are looking to buy.
Loan Options for Every Status
We ensure you are in the right "loan bucket" based on your current residency:
- FHA Loans: Ideal for US Citizens and Permanent Residents (Green Card holders).
- Conventional Loans: A powerful option for immigrants currently adjusting their status who have a valid Social Security number and Work Permit.
- Seller Credits: We use our 22+ years of negotiation experience to ask the seller to pay for your closing costs, often leaving you with only your initial Earnest Money deposit.
ITIN Loans
Préstamos con ITIN
"Su trabajo duro merece un hogar propio." 15% to 20% of our business is dedicated to helping families who file taxes with an ITIN. We believe that everyone who contributes to the growth of Utah deserves a clear, legal path to homeownership.
Why an ITIN Loan?
(Las Ventajas del Programa)
"ITIN loans are a game-changer for non-traditional borrowers." We maintain direct relationships with local credit unions and specialized lenders who understand the unique needs of our community.
No Mortgage Insurance (Sin PMI)
Unlike many traditional loans, these ITIN programs often do not require monthly mortgage insurance. This can save you hundreds of dollars every month, making your payment much more affordable.
Competitive Interest Rates
We connect you with local institutions offering rates that rival traditional bank loans.
Flexible Terms
Whether you want to pay off your home quickly or keep your payments low, we offer terms from 7-year to 30-year loans.
Options Tailored to Your Goals
From primary residences to investment properties, we help you choose the right path for your family's future.
The Blueprint to Qualify
