| What
It Really Takes To Buy A Home With Zero Cash Down Payment
You
hear this headline an awful lot…mostly in advertisements for
get-rich-quick real estate seminars. Even though the application
requirements are quite rigid and less forgiving, it is totally possible
to get a mortgage without making a down payment by following a few
requirements.
Required
Program Qualifications:
1.
An Excellent Credit History
-
Absolutely
zero recent history of bad debts
- Consistent
and timely payment of all previous and current liabilities
2.
Disclose A Current List Of All Liabilities
This will determine
how much debt the lender will allow you to carry. Examples of any
liabilities may be: loans, car, home, co-signed loans, credit cards,
boats, R.V’s, motorcycles, property, etc.
3.
Be Able To Prove A Minimum Of 3 Years Stable Employment History.
You
will be required to show a letter of employment, or if self employed
you must show financial statements for the prior three years.
4.
The Financial Ability To Pay Larger Monthly Payments
Expect to pay
a few hundred dollars extra per month on a zero down mortgage program.
Without a down payment you will be required to meet the obligation
of larger mortgage payments. Your monthly payments could vary from
a few to several hundred dollars more per month.
Note:
Understand that since this is such a unique program,
not all lenders will offer it. If you plan on going this route,
be sure and work with a lender who specializes in this. Also, not
all properties will qualify for the Zero Cash Down Program. Your
Lender or qualified real estate agent can provide current details.
