Why Is It So Hard To Find The Low Down And Zero Down Payment Home Loans You’re Always Reading About?
A year or two ago, there were more than 200 different types of home loan programs; some with zero down and some with 5% down payments and low monthly payments.
Now most mortgage companies typically use 3 or 4 traditional types of home loans – usually with higher down payments.
MONEY SAVING TIP: To see for yourself, try calling any real estate or mortgage company and ask how much money you will need to buy a $140,000 home. They will probably tell you that unless you are a Veteran and can get a VA loan, you will need 10% or more to buy a home. This isn’t always true.
Then why do they say that?
Because most mortgage lenders and real estate agents don’t even know that special conventional and government home loan programs exist!
Special no and low-down payment home loans are not offered by all lenders. On top of that, it’s hard to keep informed about all the different rules and loans offered by all the different home lenders. Big mortgage and real estate companies have a hard time keeping their agents up to date about the many no and low down payment home loans available.
Many Big Mortgage and Real Estate Companies Consider Special Home Loans an Annoyance
Some companies feel that all the regulations and paperwork involved with no and low-down payment home loans are too much “fuss and muss”. Besides, they’re selling enough homes without using these special loans, so why bother?
Another problem -- some of these special home loan programs come and go. Some are offered for only a very limited time. When the funds run out, they’re gone. By the time many lenders and agents become aware of these great home loans it’s too late!
MONEY SAVING TIP: There are still a few fine home loans to help you buy a home for little or no down payment. At any given time there may be a special home loan program for which you qualify. These loans can save you thousands of dollars of interest and give you a down payment of ZERO to 3.5%.
I Was Told That I Earn Too Much Money To Qualify For A Special Low Down Home Loan
Some of these great home loans have income limits, but they’re all different. Some “limits” are very high. Other programs have NO LIMITS. It just depends on the circumstances. We will tell you the best programs based on your personal situation.
MONEY SAVING TIP: There are few different types of special loans. Some of these loans come and go. Others are always available. Each has different rules and requirements. You may qualify for one or more of these loans. The only way to find out what is available is to consult with a knowledgeable Mortgage Advisor. We will find the loan program that is exactly right for you.

The “Problem” with Government Down Payment Assistance Home Loans:
The problem with these special home loans is that they come and go in a fairly short “window period.” For example: a down payment assistance may become available in April and be out of funds by May. It could be another 3 to 12 months before the program is offered again. To obtain one of these loans, you have to know about them before the funds are gone – and act fast! There are many other restrictions such as income limitations and some programs limit the neighborhoods as well. Additionally, many include penalties if you sell your home within an arbitrary time frame.
MONEY SAVING TIP: The average mortgage banker or real estate agent in a big company, busy with all the phases of realty, often doesn’t learn about these money saving home loans until it’s too late!
