First Time Home Buyer
Step into the housing market with confidence.
Get excited, because the next stage of your life begins now!
Leaving your rental to buy a home is a big step.
Your landlord is responsible for repairs and upkeep. In addition, depending on your lease, you may not even be paying for electricity or water. On the other hand, if your current residence is growing in value, then your landlord is building equity through your monthly payments – not you.
Homeownership offers financial benefits that renting does not. While you’ll want to consult a tax advisor, you’ll learn that the interest you pay on your mortgage is tax deductible, as are some closing and moving costs. If you pay points on your loan to reduce the interest rate on your mortgage, that amount is also tax deductible for that year. When you decide to buy a home, you’re making a decision to invest in your future.
You Can Count on Justice Federal
Your Justice Federal Mortgage Representative is not only here to help you manage your home financing today, but will also help you to achieve your long-term goals. After all, life changes, and your mortgage should change with it.
Any time you have questions regarding home financing, we encourage you to contact your Mortgage Representative. Justice Federal will continue to provide you with the service you deserve for the life of your loan.
Additional Mortgage Programs
No matter the size, or your budget, we will help you match your dream home to one of our mortgage programs.
For first-time homebuyers, breaking into the housing market can be daunting. The median sales price has risen to $498,700 as of February 2023 — a 5% increase, according to US Census Bureau. And in some communities, price increases were much higher.
If you’re planning to buy a home, you may be waiting to save enough for a down payment. We realize it can be challenging to save a 20% down payment, especially as sales prices rise.
Fortunately, the Down Payment Assistance Program from Justice Federal provides opportunity for first-time homebuyers to purchase a home with as little as 3-5% down. And the down payment may be money gifted!

With a Fixed Rate Mortgage your monthly principal and interest payment is locked-in for the life of the loan. Choose a fixed rate mortgage with terms to fit your budget.
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) offers a lower initial interest rate than most fixed rate loans. The interest rate on ARM can change periodically, usually in relation to an index, resulting in a change in your monthly payment. Of course you should weigh the risk of an increase in interest rates.
A Jumbo Loan (Non-Conforming Loan) exceeds the maximum loan amount allowed by most mortgage investors. The cost of obtaining a jumbo loan as well as the interest rate is generally higher than that of a conventional loan.
