How to qualify for a mortgage in Pueblo
Because Pueblo is a heavy VA market, most veteran and active-duty buyers start with VA eligibility — 0% down, no PMI, and competitive rates. For buyers without VA entitlement, conventional and FHA round out the picture. Lenders look at credit, DTI, residual income (for VA), and how the home will be used.
- 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.
