Financing - Welcome to YES!
 

Easy. Simple. Yes. These are the words you will hear as we listen to your financing needs. Our Welcome to Yes approach makes this simple.

Using our preferred lender, First Community Mortgage, Inc. for your new home financing, automatically covers your basic closing costs. This can save you between $2,000 - $2,500 in fees charged other mortgage and title/closing company. In addition, by using our First Community Mortgage, you receive competitive interest rates, seamless customer service and access to multiple loan programs.

Sometimes finding the type of mortgage loan that is best suited to your financial situation seems harder than finding the place to call home. Today, FHA, VA and Conventional, are the most used financing sources.


FHA Loan (Federal Housing Administration government loan)

  • 3.5% down payment based on sales price
  • Down payment can be gift from relatives (no expectation of repayment)
  • Upfront & monthly mortgage insurance
  • Easiest loan for buyers to obtain (not as credit-sensitive as other loans)
  • Allows for higher debt-to-income ratios

THDA Great Start Loan

If you are a first-time home buyer, or have not owned a home in the previous three years, you may be eligible for the THDA Great Start loan, where the State of Tennessee will pay your required down payment in the form of a grant. Income restrictions apply.
