Who can be considered as a first time home buyer?

It i more likely that a first time home buyer is someone that has never bought a home before, either that means that you have never picked out the home or you have and someone else has paid for it. Either way that person would be a first time home buyer. Depending on what state you live in there are factors that could place you in the category of first time home buyer even if you have previously owned a home. In New Jersey, if you haven't owned a house in the last 3 years, you are considered a first time home buyer and are eligible for the First Time Home Buyer Program funded by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA). This loan offers a below market, fixed interest rate and can even help with down payment. I would check with a mortgage company in your state to see if there are similar programs available.
