Finding the Right Mortgage Loan Program

We understand that you have unique needs and a unique situation as a homebuyer. Because we understand this, we’re able to find you the right loan program, which saves you time and money. It all comes down to your qualifications, desired home, and financial situation. Café Lending offers a wide variety of loan programs all designed to help you achieve your goals of homeownership.

FHA Loans

FHA home loans are designed provide flexible guidelines for homebuyers. Removing barriers traditionally associated with mortgage programs, FHA loans offer lower down payment options and easier credit qualifications.

USDA Loans

USDA home loans provide financing for those looking to purchase in rural settings. As a rural development program, USDA loans offer zero down payment mortgage solutions for qualifying borrowers and properties.

VA Loans

Created specifically for active military personnel, veterans, and U.S. Military families, VA home loans offer qualified borrowers a no down payment loan option with lower credit score qualifications.

Conventional Loans

Conventional home loans are great for those who have saved the traditional 20% for a down payment, though smaller down payment options exist for this home loan, as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best mortgage loan programs for Indianapolis?

The truth is, there isn’t a “best mortgage program” for Indianapolis. It isn’t always about location, but rather your situation and what kind of home you’re looking for. For instance, if you’re looking for a home in a rural location, then a USDA home loan might be best for you. Or, if you’re a first-time homebuyer, an FHA loan might be best for you. Our team will work with you to determine the best mortgage loan program for you.
