You aren’t doomed to pay 20% down. Here are some of the options you have.

 

We get this question a lot: Are there opportunities to buy a home with low or no money down?

Various news outlets have claimed that you need a 20% down payment in order to purchase a home, but it’s not true—you can certainly buy a home with zero down.

There are several loan programs out there, such as the Utah Housing Corporation loan or the USDA loan, that help you buy with either nothing down or a very low amount. However, each program does have requirements. These may include:

  • Income
  • Size of household
  • Location
  • Home condition
