Quote from @Patrick Roberts:
What can you tell me about the one for all of SC? We are looking at Beaufort. Will this only work for a conventional loan?

Quote from @Thomas Sehon:

We only have the liquid funds to put 3.5% down for the area we are looking which is why we are thinking FHA.

We are considering sun west mortgage but open to other suggestions.


3% down with Conventional is possible in some scenarios. There are also two solid downpayment assistance programs - one for Columbia specifically and one for anywhere in SC. I recommend exploring all your options as FHA has a nasty upfront fee and permanent mortgage insurance. I'm happy to take a look at this for you - just DM me.

Hello all,

We are looking to apply for our first loan and they’re wondering if it is best to go with a private lender or a bigger bank. And would love to understand anyone’s perspective on the differences or what they tend to prefer or look for.

Thank you in advance!
