A low-income home loan could be your answer to homeownership if you have below-average earnings. Unfortunately, insufficient income is why banks and lenders reject conventional mortgage applications. However, several home loan programs have great financing options to make purchasing a home possible for low-income families. 

Let’s face it—buying a home is tough at the best of times. Even with a sufficient down payment, a mortgage lender will refuse a home loan application if they think you cannot afford the monthly mortgage payments. In addition, if you are a first-time homebuyer, qualifying for a home loan can seem impossible due to the large deposit. If these scenarios affect you, what options are available to afford to buy a home?

Popular low-income home loan programs include USDA, FHA, VA, Home Possible, and HomeReady. These programs have options like zero to three and a half percent down payments, less stringent minimum income requirements, or lower credit score thresholds. Therefore, a low-income home loan may suit you, depending on your situation.
