The Des Moines market — and how we finance it.
Des Moines is one of the country's largest insurance and financial-services centers, which gives the metro an unusually steady white-collar employment base. Housing remains affordable relative to national medians, with historic neighborhoods like Beaverdale and Sherman Hill alongside substantial new development in the western suburbs.
Insurance and financial-services professionals, first-time buyers taking advantage of accessible price points, and investors drawn to a market where rents cover costs comfortably.

Des Moines mortgage questions.
Is Des Moines affordable for a first-time buyer?
Very. Des Moines price points sit well below national medians, so conventional financing from 3% down or FHA at 3.5% translates into modest cash to close compared with coastal markets.
Do you finance duplexes and small multifamily in Des Moines?
Yes. Two-to-four-unit properties work under several programs. If you occupy one unit you may qualify for owner-occupied terms on the entire building, which is usually the cheapest way to start investing.
