Best Lender For First Time Home Buyer Loans

Unfortunately, some lenders do not like to work with first time home buyers (due to not having a track record), and prefer instead to only provide mortgages to people who have previously owned a home. If you do not need help with the down payment and are not in need of any state program, but simply want to apply for a mortgage, we recommend  ING DIRECT Orange Mortgage They have great rates, an easy online application, and welcome first time home buyers. Additionally they have not been as severely hurt by the subprime mortgage crisis and are still approving the majority of applications.
