What Qualifies as a First-Time Homebuyer?
You’re typically considered a first-time homebuyer if:
- You’ve never owned a home, or
- You haven’t owned a home in the past three years
Many programs and incentives are available specifically for first-time buyers — but the right option depends on your financial profile and goals.
Common First-Time Homebuyer Questions
Most buyers I work with ask things like:
- “How much money do I need to buy a home?”
- “What credit score do I need?”
- “Are there low down payment options?”
- “What are closing costs?”
- “How long does the process take?”
These are normal questions — and the answers vary by loan type.
Loan Options for First-Time Homebuyers in San Antonio
Depending on your situation, one or more of the following may be a good fit:
FHA Loans
A popular choice for first-time buyers, offering low down payment options and flexible credit guidelines.

Conventional Loans (3% Down)
For buyers with strong credit and stable income, conventional loans may allow as little as 3% down.
VA Loans
Eligible veterans and active-duty buyers may qualify for VA loans with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance.

Down Payment Assistance Programs
Some buyers may qualify for local or state programs that help with down payment or closing costs.
I’ll help you evaluate which option makes the most sense — without pushing you into the wrong program.
What You’ll Need to Get Pre-Approved
A strong pre-approval is the foundation of a smooth purchase.
Most first-time buyers will need:
- Recent pay stubs
- W-2s from the last two years
- Bank statements
- Government-issued ID
- Authorization to review credit
Providing documents early helps avoid delays later.
How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Home?
Costs typically include:
- Down payment (varies by loan program)
- Closing costs (such as appraisal, title, and lender fees)
- Earnest money once under contract
I’ll walk you through estimated monthly payments and cash-to-close so you know exactly what to expect before making an offer.
The Homebuying Process — Simplified
Here’s what the process usually looks like:
- Pre-Approval – Review income, credit, and options
- Home Search – Work with a Realtor to find the right home
- Offer Accepted – Loan and appraisal process begins
- Underwriting – Final loan review and conditions
- Closing – Documents signed and keys received
My role is to keep the financing side clear and organized at every step.
