What If 1% Down Was All It Took for a Home Loan? — A New Path to Homeownership for the Next Generation

Young couple smiling in front of their new home after closing on a 1% down conventional loan.
They didn’t wait years to save up 20%. A 1% down loan helped them move in sooner and start building wealth today.

If you’ve ever felt like the dream of owning a home is slipping further out of reach — whether for yourself, your children, or someone you love — this might be the moment that changes everything.


A new opportunity is opening doors for qualified buyers to purchase a home with just 1% down, thanks to our powerful lender contribution program designed to gift 2% of the buyer's down payment, up to $7,000, to support those who need it most.


But this isn’t just about lower cash to close. It’s about rethinking how we help people build generational wealth — especially in a market where affordability is a challenge for first-time and next-gen buyers.

Still saving for that down payment? What if you only needed 1% to start the homeownership journey?

🏡 Why This 1% Down Home Loan Matters (Especially Right Now)

Let’s face it: saving for a down payment while juggling rent, rising living expenses, and the unpredictability of life can feel impossible — even for high-performing professionals or dual-income households.


This program is designed for buyers still in the growth phase of their income journey: often times younger professionals, essential workers, self-employed, government employees, etc.


Here’s the game-changer: With just 1% from the buyer, our lending partner contributes an additional 2% (up to $7,000), giving them the full 3% needed for a conventional down payment.


That’s money that could otherwise take years to save.

That’s equity they could start building now.

That’s a launchpad into long-term financial stability.

🎯 For Parents and Grandparents Stepping In to Help with a Home Loan:

Helping a child or grandchild buy a home is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give — but it doesn’t always mean handing over tens of thousands of dollars.


In some cases, all that’s needed is gift funds to cover 1% down for their home loan, a willingness to guide them, and a trusted mortgage advisor who understands the options available.

Sometimes, the best help isn’t a big check — it’s knowing there’s a smarter option available. This program makes supporting your child’s homeownership dream easier and more affordable.

This program can dramatically reduce the amount of support needed — making it possible for more families to come together and say, “We did it.”


🤝 Why Working With a Broker Makes All the Difference

Big banks and retail lenders typically don’t offer access to this type of product. They’re limited to their own suite of options.

Big banks offer one option. We shop dozens. That’s the mortgage broker difference — and why our clients close with clarity and confidence.

As a mortgage broker, our role is to shop across many lenders to find the program that fits your life — not the other way around. That means you get:


  • Real options designed for today’s real buyers

  • Flexible solutions for self-employed or income-variable borrowers

  • Personalized guidance that puts your long-term goals first


🔍 Is This Program Right for You or Someone You Love?
