Low Down Payment Mortgages
As recently as 2007, it was relatively easy to obtain
100% financing for a mortgage loan. However, all of the troubles in the
real estate market of late have taken away virtually all options for
100% financing, leaving borrowers with the need to have a down payment.
FHA allows for a 3.5% down payment, and some conventional loans will
allow for a 3% down payment. To qualify, a borrower must have a very
good credit score and satisfactory debt-to-income ratios. VA loans still
allow for zero down payment, but you must be a veteran of the armed
forces to qualify. Without question, the zero down payment loans of the
past few years are virtually non-existent now.
