mortgage lending is based on LTV (Loan to Value). With really good credit, you can get conventional financing with just 3% down payment, and they will finance 97%.... so on a $100K home, you would need $3000 down payment.. however if your looking at a $300K home, you would need $9000 down.. If you have VA benefits available to you, you can purchase a home with ZERO down payment.. also, if the home your looking to purchase is in a USDA defined area, you can purchase that home for zero down.. There also might be some local Down Payment Assistance programs which can help... the best advice I can give you is to contact a local mortgage broker, and apply with them.. they should have knowledge of any local programs designed to assist you with the required down payment.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

The only true zero down loans nation wide are a VA loan, or a USDA rural housing loan. The next best is 3.50% down FHA. The beauty of the FHA loan is that the down payment can be yours, a gift from a family member, or assistance from a community, state, or city down payment assistance program. Many areas have such programs, so consult a local mortgage broker in the area you with to buy. With good or better credit, Fannie Mae conventional allows for just 3% down, but I just read that is going away. 5% down conventional is also available. www.BestMinneapolisMortgage.com

Check with your local county or city. Alot of times they offer down payment assistance for 3 or 3.5% that can assist with an FHA mortgage.

That depends on the price of the property you are trying to purchase. If you qualify for a VA loan, you can purchase a property with as little as 0 percent down. With an FHA loan, you can purchase a property with as little as 3.5 percent down. With a conventional loan, you have to have a least 10 percent down.

As the others have stated you can do a home purchase with only 3% down but also check with with your local Government offices - both city, county, and state and see if they have any down payment assistance monies available right now. Also, most states have HUD approved 100% purchase programs so check into those as well.

Yes, like most here have mentioned, FHA is 3.5% down, USDA is zero down (for rural areas). If you are a veteran VA loans are available at 100% LTV.
