How to Buy a House With No Money Down

Saving for a down payment is often the biggest roadblock for first-time home buyers. The good news is, you don’t need to put down 20% to buy a home.
In fact, you may be able to buy a house with no money down if you served in the military, are a rural home buyer, are a member of a credit union or qualify for 100% financing through certain mortgage lenders. Down payment assistance programs can also make it possible to buy a house with very little money out of pocket.
