No Money Down
100% Financing / No Down-payment Mortgage
Note: Post 2006 100% Financing Mortgages have become
increasingly difficult to find. To qualify, clients are required to provide
proof of income, and must have excellent credit. 5% down loans are
also becoming difficult to find as well. Most lenders are requiring
a minimum down payment of 10%-20% down. If you qualify, the work as
follows:

either a 1st mortgage exclusively or a combination of a 1st, 2nd, 3rd
mortgage* (sometimes referred to as a piggyback mortgage).
