With the mortgage market tightening up over the last couple of years, many people think their only down payment option for a new home is 20% or more. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Surprisingly, there are many options for low down payment loans.
Zero – That’s right, $0 – down loans
Didn’t zero down loans go away with the mortgage meltdown? No way, there are still some terrific zero down programs available.
USDA Rural Development – The United States Department of Agriculture has a Rural Development loan product that is truly zero down. USDA loans come in 2 flavors – Guaranteed and Direct. The Direct program is for low income buyers and is only available through the USDA offices. The Guaranteed program is available through mortgage lenders or brokers and is for low-moderate income families purchasing in rural/semi-rural areas. Aside from not requiring a down payment, these loans have many other advantages. There is no monthly mortgage insurance, interest rates are very low, and the areas of rural eligibility are very liberal.
