No Down Payment Loans
REM # F604
By Ilyce R. Glink
Summary: Can I buy a house with no down payment? Definitely. Ilyce Glink explains to a reader that zero down payment loans are more readily available than one might imagine but encourages the reader not to waste money on a "no down payment" home study course.
Q: What do you think about these “no down payment” home study courses? I bought one and I have learned some things from it, like the fact that homeownership won’t happen overnight.
What I want to know is, can I buy a house this way?
A: I think you have to pay a lot of money for those courses and in my humble opinion, that's money better spent on a down payment or closing costs.
By the way, you no longer need to have any cash to put down on a home. You can get approved for a loan at a reasonable interest rate even with no down payment.
Talk to your local lender about whether you qualify for zero down payment loans. They’re more readily available than you might imagine.
