Benefits of the Zero Cash Down Payment Program

  1. If you are currently renting, you are paying your landlord's mortgage instead of reaping the benefits of building your own equity. Are you renting because you think you need a substantial down payment to buy your own home? Many would-be homebuyers, and even some realtors, believe that you can’t purchase a home without a sizable down payment. This simply is not true, but because so many would-be home owners believe it is, they think they have to save for years before they will have enough money for a down payment and can finally enter the housing market. But while they save, they continue to line someone else's pockets, and wait a long time to start building their own equity. The Zero Cash Down Payment Program may let you start building that equity yourself by buying your home now, without a down payment.
