I have refinanced a number of times with Residential Lending LLC. Every time, my wife and I have been treated fairly, honestly, and with great respect! They are the best!

Our purchase was time sensitive and Residential Lending LLC worked to not only meet the deadline, but closed a week early! They worked to predict potential hold-ups so they could be prevented. Residential Lending LLC performed every task required of them for our home loan quickly and accurately. There are nothing but positives to be said about them.

National First Time Homebuyer Programs

First time homebuyers in Colorado have access to a variety of national mortgage programs and loan types, each with their own set of qualifications and requirements:

Conventional loans, for example, typically require a credit score of 620 or higher, a debt-to-income ratio of no more than 45% and a down payment of at least 5%.
FHA loans, on the other hand, are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and have more flexible qualifications, such as a lower credit score requirement of 580 and a lower down payment requirement of 3.5%.
VA loans are available to active duty military members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses and do not require a down payment.
USDA loans are designed for low-income borrowers in rural areas and also do not require a down payment.
Jumbo loans are designed for borrowers looking to finance a more expensive property and usually require a higher credit score and down payment than other loan types.
