That's right, FREE, F-R-E-E money to buy a home. When I first heard this in a Real Estate Class I attended last week, I was a little skeptical because the days of 0% down financing are over (so I thought) - boy I was wrong.
After the class I decided to do a little more research of my own and reach out to my partner that does the loans for my clients that are buying with a loan,
Michael Rodriguez, to find out what specifically is available for home buyers looking to buy that may not have the traditional 3.5% down payment needed to obtain a loan.
Here is what we came up with - at least 8 loan programs that a buyer can get into a property for little to no money down. Keep in mind there are restrictions to the availability of these programs nonetheless, they are out there to the people that do qualify and each program is an awesome opportunity to get FREE money to buy a home! To find out if you are eligible for one of these programs, call me today at 702-332-7781 so we can analyze your options.
Below is a summary of the loan programs and some of the requirements.
