How it works

Our Zero Down mortgage program pairs a standard FHA first mortgage for up to 96.5 percent of the total purchase price plus second mortgage options to go toward down payment and/or closing costs. The second mortgage provides down payment assistance of 3.5 or 5 percent of the purchase price as a repayable lien or 3.5 percent of the purchase price as a forgivable lien.
