There is a BIG misunderstanding about what it takes to buy a home and getting a mortgage surrounding the topic of down payment.

Many believe it takes 5%, 10% or even 20% to buy a home and that is simply not the case.  Here are a few options for 0% down payment:

VA

Not everyone will qualify for a VA loan but if you have VA benefits from your time in the military VA is a great option for a zero down payment.

USDA

USDA can be used for a no down payment mortgage option but you must purchase within an eligible USDA area.  If you are considering a home purchase in a rural area, this may be a great option to avoid down payment when making a home purchase.

CHFA

CHFA, or Colorado Housing & Finance Authority, was previously known as a down payment assisatcne program eligible to only first time home buyers.  But things have changed and many of their programs have eliminated the requirement of being a first time buyer to use their assistance programs.

Even if you are not a first time home buyer you may qualify for their assistance programs that could allow you to buy a home for no down payment.

CHFA has multiple loan options including:

  • CHFA FirstStep
  • CHFA SmartStep
  • CHFA HomeOpener
  • CHFA Preferred

All of these options provide down payment assistance and can be combined with FHA, VA, USDA or Conventional mortgage options depending on the program.
