3 Programs That Help You Avoid a 20% Down Payment

Loan Programs With Less Than 20 Percent Down - Port A Real Estate
When you’re buying a home, whether it’s a Port Royal condo or a house in El Pescador, you’re have several options if you don’t want to—or can’t—come up with a 20 percent down payment.

3 Big Programs That Allow You to Skip a 20% Down Payment

Let’s face it: Saving up 20 percent of a home’s purchase price can be tough. In some cases, it’s impossible.
Fortunately, there are three major programs that will allow you to buy a home with less than 20 percent down.

FHA Loans

If you take out an FHA loan, you could put down as little as 3.5 percent of the home’s purchase price. The program is designed as a “second chance” for people who have bankruptcies, short sales, and foreclosures in their pasts.

VA Loans

If you’re a veteran or currently serving member of the U.S. Armed Forces (and you’re in good standing) or you’re the surviving dependent of a vet or member, you could qualify for a VA loan. A VA loan, which is backed by the Veterans Administration, doesn’t require any down payment at all.

USDA Loans

Often called the “farmer’s loan,” a USDA loan is a rural housing incentive backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
