New Mexico residents have access to a Down Payment Program (4% Grant) for first time home buyers. A first-time home buyer is deemed a person who has not owned a home or was not the occupant of a home as a primary residence in the past 3 years.
Before you start the exciting journey of house hunting, there’s one important step you should take – getting pre-qualified for a mortgage. Getting pre-qualified can give you a clearer picture of what you can afford and can help streamline the buying process.
