Many first time Maryland home buyers get the “first time buyer advice mortgage”
that an FHA home loan is right for them. That really depends on the amount of
down payment, reserves and credit history. Sure, FHA offers a smaller required
down payment at first, But it may cost more than a conventional loan in the long
run.
It is always best to seek good advice from several loan officers when seeking a
home loan for the first time home buyer.

Here is some simple steps and advice to follow for first time Maryland home
buyers:

Step 1. Gather the necessary documents (listed above  ‘Common Documents’)
Step 2. Search out your loan limits (using the charts above) in your area.
Step 3. Get general idea, based on income and debts, for what you may qualify
for using the How Much Can I afford mortgage calculator.

Now you are ready to get your first time home buyer advice direct from a loan
officer. Take all the information you have and consider getting a credit report.
Then request a rate quote.
