Loan Programs Available in Adams, TN

As an independent mortgage broker, Valor Mortgage gives Adams homebuyers access to a wide range of loan programs. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a veteran, a real estate investor, or someone who has been told “no” by a bank, we likely have a program that works for your situation.

VA Loans

If you or a family member have served in the U.S. military, a VA loan may be your most powerful path to homeownership. VA loans offer zero down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), competitive interest rates, and flexible qualification guidelines. Christopher Armantrout works regularly with veterans and active-duty service members throughout Robertson County and will make sure you maximize the VA benefit you’ve earned.

FHA Loans

FHA loans are one of the most popular programs for first-time homebuyers and those with credit challenges. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans allow down payments as low as 3.5% with a credit score of 580 or higher. FHA loans allow gift funds for the down payment and seller concessions up to 6%. Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) down payment assistance can often be layered with FHA financing.

Conventional Loans

Conventional loans offer down payment options as low as 3% for first-time buyers, flexible term options (15, 20, or 30 years), and the ability to eliminate PMI once you reach 20% equity. For buyers with credit scores of 680 or above and stable employment history, a conventional loan often provides the most competitive interest rate and lowest total cost of borrowing.

USDA Loans

The USDA Rural Development loan program offers 100% financing with zero down payment for eligible buyers in qualifying rural areas — and much of Robertson County qualifies. USDA loans carry competitive interest rates and lower mortgage insurance costs than FHA loans. If you’re buying in a smaller Robertson County community, a USDA loan could put you in a home with little to no money out of pocket.

Non-QM Loans

Non-QM loans are designed for self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, freelancers, and business owners with non-traditional income documentation. Christopher has access to bank statement loans, asset depletion loans, DSCR investor loans, and 1099 programs. If you’ve been told you don’t qualify because of your income structure, a Non-QM loan may be the solution.

Construction Loans

Building your dream home in Robertson County? Valor Mortgage offers construction-to-permanent financing that covers land and construction costs, then converts to a traditional mortgage when your home is complete — eliminating the need for separate construction and permanent financing.

First Responder Loans

Robertson County’s firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, teachers, and healthcare workers deserve special mortgage benefits. First Responder loan programs offer reduced rates, down payment assistance, and streamlined qualification. Ask Christopher about current first responder programs available in Tennessee.

Down Payment Assistance

Many Robertson County homebuyers qualify for down payment assistance they don’t know about. Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) Great Choice programs offer up to 6% of the purchase price for qualifying buyers. Other programs including The Housing Fund and local grants can further reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
