Everything You Need to Know

Understanding Your Options

Buying your first home is one of life's most significant milestones, and Dani Mullaev understands that the mortgage process can feel overwhelming for newcomers. That's why he specializes in guiding first-time buyers through every step with patience, clarity, and expertise.

First-time buyer programs offer unique advantages including lower down payment requirements (as little as 3% with conventional loans), reduced mortgage insurance costs, and access to special grants and assistance programs. FHA loans are particularly popular among first-time buyers, requiring only 3.5% down with credit scores as low as 580.

Down Payment Assistance Programs

Dani helps you navigate down payment assistance programs available in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, including state and local grants that can provide thousands in free money toward your purchase. Many programs offer forgivable loans, tax credits, or reduced interest rates specifically for first-time buyers.
