Why Now?

Homebuyers have always had to consider availability and affordability during their home search. But in the current Twin Cities housing landscape, with rent prices on the rise, fewer homes on the market, and the coronavirus pandemic likely to affect buyers' and sellers' priorities through 2021, mortgage options need to address the barriers that exist for first-time homebuyers.

"The market for home buying in the Twin Cities is very competitive and isn't slowing down," says Robyn Bipes-Timm, President of TCHFH Lending, Inc. "We designed TruePath Mortgage to help first-time homebuyers get a leg up on the competition. With TruePath, there is a reliable brand behind your pre-approval letter that sellers can trust, and you have a loan you can afford."
