Ep. 194 - Homebuyer Myths: Down Payments, Credit Scores, and Assistance

Do you really need 20% down to buy a house? What credit score do you actually need to qualify? And how do down payment assistance programs really work?

In this episode of the State 48 Homeowner Podcast, Scott Kooiman is joined by Steve Farrington and Twila Edwards from the Klaus Team to bust some of the biggest myths keeping first-time buyers from becoming homeowners. They cover the truth about down payments, loan options like FHA, VA, and USDA, how credit scores impact your approval, and the role assistance programs can play in making homeownership possible sooner than you think.

If you're thinking about buying your first home, this is the episode that will set the record straight.
