How much do I need for a down payment in Las Vegas?
Down payments vary by loan type: FHA requires 3.5%, conventional loans typically 3-20%, VA loans 0% for eligible veterans, and USDA loans 0% for rural areas. Nevada also offers down payment assistance programs for first-time buyers. Dr. Jan can connect you with lenders who specialize in low down payment programs.
Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?

Yes! Dr. Jan provides free representation for new construction—including Homes by Dr. Jan Duffy at Mesa at Skyeview in Skye Canyon and builders such as Toll Brothers and Lennar.
