Zero Down Payment
Understanding No Down (Zero Down) Payment Loans
New loan programs introduced by lenders allow you to make no down (zero down) payments on your new home purchase. This means that you will be financing 100% of your home's total value. These new loan types were created because property values are continually rising, and this generally helps homeowners to create equity in their home. Nowadays, it's much easier for lenders to ensure that a potential client is qualified by simply checking their background.
Who should use a No Down (Zero Down) Payment Loan?
For most people, it may be difficult to put a 20% down payment on a house. Therefore, a no down payment loan is the only way that most borrowers can afford to purchase a home. There are several advantages that borrowers gain by using a no down payment option. Borrowers can use their extra money they have saved in order to purchase furniture or other necessities for their new home. Another advantage is having the ability to lock into a specific home before it appreciates beyond the amount you are willing to pay. A borrower could also lock into a home sooner in order to reap the benefits from the home's appreciation.
What People are Saying
I was a new mother who had just recently returned to work from maternity leave when we decided to refinance our home. I was still struggling with trying to balance work and home, so the idea of one more thing on my "to do" list had me uptight. Thank heavens for Eagle River Mortgage! Nearly all of the preliminary paper work was done over the phone or fax lines. The entire deal was completed in two weeks from start to funding, and we’ve been able to lower our monthly payments by $500. Thanks a million to Blane & the gang at Eagle River Mortgage!
