Zero Down Loans – 100% Financing – No Money Down
No Money Down Home Loans
Are you ready to buy a home, but you don’t have very much cash for a down payment? There are two programs used in nearly all the zero down financing in New Hampshire.
The first is the Zero Down VA Loan Program. This 100% financing program is good for home buyers who have served in the Armed Services and are eligible for a VA loan. Its primary benefits include the following:
- Blemished credit is often workable.
- No PMI (private mortgage insurance) or MIP (mortgage insurance premium).
- VA funding Fee is financeable (veterans with a 10% or greater disability are exempt from this fee).
- $0 down payment.
- Seller can pay all closing costs and prepaid expenses.
- One- to four-unit properties are eligible.
The second-most widely used no-money-down program is the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program. This program works best for borrowers who are purchasing in a rural area. Its primary benefits include the following:
- $0 down payment.
- 30-year fixed rate.
- Minimal monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance).
- Unrestricted gifts.
- No reserves required.
Requirements for an RD loan:
- Home must be in USDA-eligible area.
- Total household income must be below income limits set for the area where the home is being purchased, which in many parts of New Hampshire is about $100,000.
If you don’t meet the criteria for VA or RD financing, consider a New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) down payment assistance grant.
