Mortgage broker serving Aurora, Colorado
First-time buyer financing, down payment assistance, and medical-professional loans for Aurora — home to the Anschutz Medical Campus and Buckley Space Force Base.
Aurora is where a lot of Front Range buyers actually find a payment that works. Prices in Green Valley Ranch, Tower Triangle, and the southeast growth corridor near E-470 still leave room for 3%-down conventional and FHA financing, and much of the newer inventory comes from builders offering closing-cost incentives. We compare a builder's in-house lender against outside financing line by line, because the incentive is only worth taking when the rate and fees behind it hold up.
Two employers shape Aurora lending more than anything else. The Anschutz Medical Campus brings residents, fellows, and attending physicians who need loans that count an employment contract instead of two years of W-2s and that treat deferred student loans correctly. Buckley Space Force Base brings VA-eligible buyers who can finance with zero down and no monthly mortgage insurance — the single strongest program available in this market when you qualify.
Aurora also has a large share of homes inside metro districts, which add a separate mill levy on top of county property tax. That extra line item changes your debt-to-income ratio and can shrink your approval by tens of thousands of dollars if it is not priced in early. We pull the actual district rate for the address before we issue a letter.

Questions we hear from Aurora clients
What down payment assistance is available in Aurora?+
Colorado's CHFA programs and several metro-area DPA options can cover most or all of a down payment for buyers under the income limits, and they layer on top of FHA or conventional financing. Assistance comes as either a second-position loan or a grant depending on the program, and each has its own credit score floor and homebuyer-education requirement. We check eligibility against the specific Aurora address and your income before you shop.
I'm a resident at Anschutz. Can I buy before I finish training?+
Yes. Physician and medical-professional programs let you qualify on a signed employment contract with a start date within roughly 60 to 90 days, with low or no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. Student loans in deferment or income-driven repayment are treated far more favorably than on a standard conventional loan, which is usually what decides the approval.
How do metro district taxes affect what I can borrow?+
A metro district adds its own mill levy to your property tax bill, and lenders count the full escrowed tax in your debt-to-income ratio. In some newer Aurora subdivisions that can add a few hundred dollars a month, which materially lowers your maximum loan amount. We pull the district rate for the exact parcel so the pre-approval reflects the real payment.
Should I use the builder's preferred lender in Aurora?+
Only after comparing. Builder incentives are real, but they are sometimes funded by a higher rate, discount points, or fees rolled into the loan. Get the builder's loan estimate, send it over, and we will show you the total five-year cost side by side. If theirs wins, take it — that answer is fine.
Does VA financing work in Aurora with no money down?+
Yes. VA loans require no down payment and carry no monthly mortgage insurance, only a one-time funding fee that is waived for veterans with a service-connected disability rating. With Buckley Space Force Base nearby, VA is one of the most common loans we write in Aurora, including on new construction.
