I thought buying a first home would be years of saving and stress. Antonio at Oxford told me I was closer than I realized. FHA program, low down payment, and I was in my Vermillion place in under two months. Antonio made a huge life milestone feel achievable instead of impossible.

Never owned property before. My parents always rented. Tatyhana at Oxford helped me break that cycle with the FHA program in Huron. Small down payment, monthly cost I can handle, and a team that actually cared about getting me to closing. This one meant a lot to our family.

First generation homeowner. I didn't grow up around people who bought houses so the whole process felt foreign. Temitayo at Oxford made it approachable. FHA loan, 3.5% down, and Temitayo answered every question no matter how basic. Closed on our Pierre home and I've never been prouder.

Two collections on my credit report and I figured no lender would touch me. Matthew at Oxford explained how the FHA program evaluates the full application, not just the score. Approved, closed in Mitchell, and the payment is actually comfortable. Matthew gave us a real chance and we're grateful.

First time buyer here. Had no clue what to expect. Shawn at Oxford explained the FHA process in plain language and walked me through every step. 3.5% down, solid rate, and I bought in Yankton feeling informed instead of overwhelmed. Shawn set the standard for what a good lender looks like.

A bankruptcy three years ago made me think homeownership was off the table. Marquis at Oxford showed me the FHA program has different waiting periods and more flexible guidelines. Bought our Watertown home and proved to myself that setbacks don't have to be permanent. Marquis believed in us when others didn't.

I was upfront with David at Oxford about our credit situation. No sugarcoating. David didn't flinch. The FHA program has room for people who are still building their credit back up. We qualified, closed in Brookings, and our mortgage payment is predictable every month. That stability means a lot.

Our credit wasn't where we wanted it to be. Another lender turned us away. Christyanne at Oxford looked at our full picture and said the FHA program could work. More flexible guidelines, reasonable rate, and we bought in Aberdeen. Christyanne never made us feel judged about our score. Just found a path forward.

Saving 20% in Sioux Falls would have taken us another five years. Antonio at Oxford showed us the FHA option at 3.5% down and suddenly buying was a this year decision, not a someday decision. Closed on a place we love and still have money in the bank. That matters.

The low down payment through the FHA program was the only way we could make Rapid City work right now. Brandon at Oxford walked us through everything, got us a competitive rate, and we closed without draining our savings. 3.5% down and we own a home. Still wrapping my head around it.

Get Your Mortgage Answers
Talk with a Mortgage Expert
How do I know what type of mortgage is best for me?

The best mortgage depends on your financial goals, budget, and future plans. First-time buyers often compare FHA or conventional loans, while veterans may qualify for VA mortgage programs. A trusted lender will guide you through options, showing which mortgage fits your income, credit, and long-term goals.

Should I wait for mortgage rates to drop before applying?

Waiting for lower mortgage rates can feel tempting, but timing the market is unpredictable. A smart approach is to apply when a mortgage fits your budget and goals today. You can always refinance later if rates improve, ensuring you do not miss opportunities to move forward.

Can I use a mortgage to consolidate debt or free up monthly cash flow?

Yes. A mortgage refinance or cash-out option can help consolidate high-interest debt and lower overall payments. By using your home’s equity, the right mortgage strategy may free up monthly cash flow, reduce financial stress, and create more room in your budget for future goals.

What does a mortgage pre-approval actually mean?

A mortgage pre-approval is a lender’s review of your income, credit, and debts to estimate how much you can borrow. It shows sellers you are a serious buyer and gives you a clear budget range. Pre-approval strengthens your position and makes the mortgage process smoother from the start.

How much mortgage can I realistically afford each month?

The amount of mortgage you can afford depends on your income, debts, credit, and lifestyle goals. Lenders often suggest keeping your mortgage payment within 28 to 31 percent of monthly income. Using a mortgage calculator helps estimate payments and gives a clearer picture of what fits your budget.

Can I switch mortgage lenders mid-process if I feel unsupported?

Yes. You can switch mortgage lenders during the process if you feel communication or support is lacking. While it may cause delays, a better mortgage experience can save stress and money long term. Always review fees and timelines before moving your application to a new mortgage lender.

Is it possible to get a mortgage if I am self-employed or have variable income?

Yes! You can qualify for a mortgage if you are self-employed or earn variable income, but lenders may require extra documentation. Bank statements, tax returns, and proof of steady cash flow help show stability. With the right mortgage program, self-employed borrowers can secure financing confidently.

Still have a question?
No problem. Let’s just talk.
