Compare conventional loans and FHA loans for your home purchase. Look at the full monthly payment, mortgage insurance and cash needed at closing. If savings are limited, check whether you qualify for Arizona down payment assistance.

Eligible service members, veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for a VA loan with no down payment. Review your Certificate of Eligibility, entitlement, closing costs and any VA funding fee before choosing a loan.

Business deductions can lower the income shown on your tax returns. Bank statement loans or eligible 1099 income programs may offer another way to qualify. Lenders still review your income history, expenses, credit and available funds.

Buying a Phoenix rental or considering a Scottsdale vacation property? DSCR loans assess rental income against housing payments. For a home that needs renovation before renting or resale, compare fix-and-flip loans or bridge financing.

A HELOC may help fund home improvements while keeping your current first mortgage. Compare it with a cash-out refinance, including fees, combined payments and how much equity you’ll have left after borrowing.

Retirement income or eligible assets may help you qualify for a mortgage. To access equity, compare a HELOC with reverse mortgage options. HECMs generally start at age 62; taxes, insurance and upkeep remain your responsibility.

A first home in Tucson, a rental in Mesa and a retirement home in Prescott can call for different financing. Start with your goal, then compare the requirements and costs.

Arizona home loans, answered

How much down payment do I need to buy a home in Arizona?

Some conventional programs allow 3% down, while eligible FHA borrowers may put down 3.5%. Qualifying VA borrowers may need no down payment. Credit, income, entitlement and property requirements still apply. Budget separately for closing costs and compare mortgage insurance or funding fees.

Does Arizona offer down payment assistance?

Yes. HOME Plus offers eligible borrowers up to 4% of the loan amount toward down payment and closing costs through participating lenders. Assistance is a second mortgage, with full forgiveness after 60 months if program conditions are met. Check income limits, education requirements and lender participation before applying.

How much income do I need for a $400,000 home in Arizona?

There’s no single income requirement. Your down payment, interest rate, existing debts, property taxes, insurance and HOA dues all affect affordability. Start with the home affordability calculator, then have a loan officer review your documents. Keep room in your budget for maintenance and other household expenses.

How do I compare mortgage rates in Arizona?

Request quotes for the same loan amount, term, down payment and rate-lock period, ideally on the same day. Compare the interest rate, APR, points, lender fees and mortgage insurance. Use Truss’s rate quote page as a starting point; an advertised rate may differ from your offer.

Can I get an Arizona mortgage without W-2s or tax returns?

Yes, some programs accept alternative income documents. Arizona bank statement loans may use eligible deposits, adjusted for business expenses, instead of tax returns. Other options may use 1099 income or qualifying assets. “No tax returns” does not mean no checks: credit, funds and program-specific documentation still matter.

Can I use a DSCR loan for an Arizona rental or Airbnb?

DSCR loans can finance eligible rental properties using rental income to assess coverage of housing payments. Some lenders accept short-term rentals, but income calculations and reserve requirements vary. For a Scottsdale or other Arizona vacation rental, confirm local rules, HOA restrictions and the lender’s requirements before relying on projected bookings.

What are the FHA loan limits in Arizona?

For 2026, one-unit FHA limits are $557,750 in Maricopa and Pinal counties and $609,500 in Coconino County; the remaining Arizona counties use the $541,287 floor. Check HUD’s county limits. These cap the base loan amount, not the purchase price. Larger purchases may suit conventional or jumbo financing.

Is a HELOC or cash-out refinance better for my Arizona home?

A second-lien HELOC lets you keep your first mortgage and borrow as needed. A cash-out refinance replaces that mortgage with a larger loan. Compare combined payments, fees, total interest and repayment terms. Truss’s HELOC vs. cash-out refinance guide explains the trade-offs.
