How to qualify for a mortgage in Cañon City
In and around Cañon City, USDA 100% financing is often the best fit — but it has two layered tests: household income must fall under the county limit, and the property must sit inside a USDA-eligible boundary. If USDA isn't a match, FHA and conventional fill the gap. Lenders review credit, DTI, down payment, and income documentation.
- Primary residences: conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA depending on credit and down payment.
- Second homes: typically conventional or jumbo with 10–20% down.
- Investment properties: conventional investor loans (20–25% down) or DSCR loans based on rental income.
