Do I qualify for a mortgage/first time homebuyer loan?

I am looking at purchasing my first home. I am 23 years old and employed full time. This house is located in Bassett, VA (24055). Me and my Fiancee will be getting married in April and I was looking to get a house now so that we can have it move-in ready with the changes we want to make before we get married. Based on the topic "Do I qualify for a mortgage? Info that is needed.", here are my responses:

Re: Do I qualify for a mortgage/first time homebuyer loan?

For a 30k loan go check your local Credit Union. Traditional banks and mortgage companies typically dont do loans that low. The costs are to great.
