Hi, this is a great question, most places have special programs for first time home buyers and some state and county offers assistance as well. Check with your local loan lender to see what you qualify for. Most likely with FHA loan you can put 3.5% down payment or 5% down with conventional loan.

  • If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?

    I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
