Arizona mortgage overview
There are many types of home loans and homebuyer assistance programs in the Grand Canyon State, including conventional mortgages, FHA loans and VA loans.
- Arizona conventional mortgages: Conventional mortgages generally require larger down payments than government-backed loans. If your down payment is less than 20 percent, you may need to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI).
- Arizona FHA Loans: If you don’t qualify for a conventional mortgage, consider an FHA loan. These mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and require a 3.5 percent down payment if your credit score is at least 589, or 10 percent if your score is 500.
- Arizona VA loans: VA loans are offered to qualifying veterans and active duty members of the armed forces. VA loans require no down payment or PMI, but you may need to pay a VA funding fee that can range from 2.3 percent to 3.6 percent of the home’s purchase price.
