There are many federally supported home buying programs that you may be able to qualify for because of military service, certain employment fields (teacher, police, fireman), income levels are some examples. There are some real estate agent specialize in first time homebuyers and have many resources and business partners that can assist you throughout the process. Your chosen local real estate agent can direct you to a great lender that will help get you pre approved so that you can begin your home shopping and buying phase. Ask your friends, coworkers or family for an agent referral if you have not found one yet. (Everyone usually knows someone who has bought a home in the last few years.) Best wishes!!

Depending on whether or not you are qualified for a VA loan, and/or where you want to buy property, such as a city, suburb or semi-rural or rural area, you can try to look at FHA, low down loans on homes anywhere, or a USDA loan in rural low populated areas. Down payment assistance programs, if you qualify for them, might be found through a lender who works with these types of loans, and programs. Check on closing costs too, which can often be negotiated in the offer.
