Zero Down Loans

How can they help you solve your closing cost needs?

Zero down payment required to purchase a home. What this means for you the buyer is that simple.

Closing cost assistance can be used to pay the closing costs so that you do not need to negotiate with the seller to pay your buyer closing costs. This is an important tool as seller do not want the purchase priced pushed higher than your actual offer as it could leave to appraisal problems.

There are many programs that do not require the buyer to put down money but in a competitive market, it may be worth putting extra money down as good faith or Earnest Money that you can get back on the day of closing.

USDA or Rural Development Zero Down Loan Program

One of the three divisions of Rural Development, the Housing and Community Facilities Program, invests in providing safe, clean and modest living for those who live outside our urban centers.  This program is designed for people that are buying in rural area’s with populations normally under 35,000.  A good rule of thumb is to assume that you would be buying in an city that is not touching another city’s borders.

Veteran or VA Loans

A VA loan does not require a down payment to buy a home.  It is a great program to use if you have been in the military and accumulated enough points to qualify for VA loan benefits.  It also has no mortgage insurance and very competitive interest rates which make it a good product for purchasing a first home.  It also has lower credit requirements so can be used by a borrower with lower credit scores.

CBC’s subordinate loans can be “soft seconds” or “repayment seconds” depending on what is best for the buyers situation.
