First-time homebuyer options in Colorado

Learn about first-time homebuyer mortgage options and Colorado housing resources with Turn Times, a licensed mortgage broker.

Quick answer

How can a Colorado first-time buyer prepare?

Turn Times can help Colorado borrowers compare participating-lender mortgage program types and explain where to review current state housing resources. The lender selected by the borrower determines eligibility, approval and final terms.

Turn Times is a licensed mortgage broker, not a lender, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the VA, FHA, HUD, or any government agency.

How Turn Times helps

  • CHFA publishes current homebuyer and assistance-program information.
  • Each program has separate income, property, education and funding requirements.
  • Turn Times holds CO Mortgage Company Registration #2099552.

Colorado program research

The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority publishes homebuyer education and program information. Review CHFA's current guidelines directly, since availability, program rules and funds can change.

A licensed loan officer can explain how a conventional, FHA, VA or other participating-lender program may compare with a state or local resource. The applicable housing agency and lender each make their own determinations.

Review your full monthly housing cost

An estimated payment should consider principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance when applicable, association dues and cash needed for closing. A lender's Loan Estimate provides standardized costs and terms after application.

Turn Times may charge an origination fee. All fees are disclosed on the lender-issued Loan Estimate.

Compare your options

A licensed loan officer can review your scenario and explain program types through participating wholesale lenders. This is not an offer of credit.

Can a broker explain CHFA resources?

A licensed mortgage broker can explain program types through participating lenders and direct borrowers to current agency resources.
