Homeownership Guide for First Responders

Heroes’ Journey to Homeownership

Serving your community is more than a job—it’s a calling. At American Hero Home Loans, we believe every police officer, firefighter, EMT, and paramedic deserves a place to call home. That’s why we offer mortgage programs and rewards tailored to support your journey to homeownership.

Your Commitment Deserves Real Benefits

We understand the unique demands of first responder life: long shifts, unpredictable schedules, and putting others before yourself. Our home loan options are built to ease the process, reduce upfront costs, and honor your dedication.

Low and No Down Payment Mortgage Options

Worried about saving for a large down payment? You’re not alone. These loan programs are designed to make homeownership more accessible for first responders:

  • FHA Loans: Just 3.5% down with flexible credit requirements—great for first-time buyers.
  • USDA Loans: 100% financing in eligible areas. Perfect if you’re open to rural or suburban living.
  • VA Loans: If you’re also a Veteran or active-duty military, VA loans offer no down payment and no mortgage insurance.
  • Conventional Loans as low as 3% Down: Ideal for qualified buyers with strong credit and steady income.

Unlock Exclusive Benefits with American Hero Rewards

Our American Hero Rewards program was built to thank you for your service. As a member, you receive:

  • Credits toward closing costs
  • Discounted home appraisals
  • Special access to trusted real estate partners
  • Perks from local businesses who value your work

Every dollar counts when you’re buying a home. These rewards are our way of giving something back to you.

Simple, Personalized Support for First Responders
