FHA Loans
FHA loans are designed to help buyers who may not have perfect credit or a large down payment. With as little as 3.5% down and flexible credit requirements, FHA loans are a popular choice for first-time homebuyers. They also allow gift funds from family for your down payment, making it easier to get into your first home.

Conventional Loans
Conventional loans are offered through private lenders and are a great option for buyers with good credit and steady income. Down payments can start as low as 3%, and you can often avoid mortgage insurance once you have 20% equity in your home. These loans typically offer more flexibility in property types and loan terms.
 
VA Loans
VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses. They are one of the best loan options available because they require no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. VA loans are a powerful benefit for those who have served our country.
 
USDA Loans
USDA loans are designed to promote homeownership in eligible rural and suburban areas. They offer no down payment options and lower mortgage insurance costs. Many areas in Utah qualify, making USDA loans a great choice if you’re open to living outside of major cities.
 
Utah Housing Loans
Utah Housing Corporation offers special programs to help first-time and low- to moderate-income buyers. These loans can provide down payment assistance and flexible credit options, making homeownership more accessible. If saving for a down payment feels overwhelming, Utah Housing may be the solution.
