100% Financing — The Zero Down Mortgage Loan
100% financing means you buy your dream home with a zero down mortgage loan, also known as 100 percent financing. You can be in your home sooner without having to worry about saving for a large down payment. With a zero down mortgage, the amount of loan you can qualify for is determined by your ability to make your monthly payments rather than how large a down payment you’ve saved. And, for most buyers, this means qualifying for a larger loan thanks to 100 percent financing.
