🧾 Quiz Results

⭐ Mostly A’s: FHA or USDA Loan

You may benefit from a low down payment loan backed by the government.

  • FHA loans are great for first-time buyers or those with lower credit.

  • USDA loans are perfect for qualified buyers in eligible rural areas — with zero down!

🎖 Mostly B’s: VA or Conventional Loan

You likely qualify for either a VA loan (if eligible) or a strong conventional loan.

  • VA loans offer zero down and no PMI for veterans or active-duty military.

  • Conventional loans offer flexibility and lower long-term costs with good credit and solid down payments.

💼 Mostly C’s: Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) or Specialty Loan

If you’re planning to sell or refinance within a few years, or want the lowest rate upfront, an ARM might work well.

  • Great for short-term homeowners or those needing short-term savings

  • Pair with strategies like cash-out refinancing or interest-only loans (depending on your financial goals)
