Before you choose
The best options combine programs (FHA, conventional low down, local assistance) and need patient guidance through the process.
- Which low down payment programs fit my situation?
- Am I eligible for any first-time buyer assistance here?
- What will my total cash to close be?
How this list is ranked
Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a ME license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), ME is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
