One can get into this clearly.

Absolutely, first time buyers are having problem securing mortgage; the problem exaggerated after recession without any doubt. It seems unless the job market becomes stable, situation won't improve.

The underwriting guidelines have stiffen for all buyers, and the folks encountering the most struggle for underwriting approval are the first-time home buyers with a short credit history and short employment history. The employment piece (i.e. general unemployment rate) certainly affects the loan market as well!

To me the biggest difficulty when it comes to first time homebuyers is the lack of extensive knowledge about the Home buying process. Especially now, when buyers are so tempted with the low prices of houses in the market. You really need to take your time to explain to these people the options they have in securing a mortgage based on their current income and financial situation, to avoid ending up with a foreclosure in the end.

No doubt that difficulty arises at the time of mortgage and first time home buyers are not that familiar with it and they need to understand it well to get through all the procedures that are required at the time to applying for mortgage.
