So with all the changes in the loan industry and the credit crunch I had a few questions and I thought active rain would be a good place to post. What is the lowest downpayment possible on a home purchase and an investment purchase. In particular I am interested in loan officers that if not located in Texas at least are capable of offering services in Austin Texas. I would of course prefer programs with 30 year amortized for my real estate clients but would be interested in hearing about the different possibilities.

3 Comments on Is 0 Down for Investment Loans Dead

We are pretty much in an industry where 100% financing is nearly impossible to find even for owner occupied homes. It's the proverbial "needle in the hay stack". When you do find it, it's tough to close. There are way too many restrictions. Ten years ago, every lender that I knew of wanted at least 20% to 25% down on a non-owner occupied home. It's the same now. No one is buying these papers on Wallstreet, therefore, it's too much of a risk to fund this type of loan and to risk carrying that paper through to term.

The max loan to purchase value that I can do is 90% (Full Doc or Stated Income).

I am also limited by my investors in the amount down investors can put.  10% is the minimum. 

There still are the My community, Home Possible and variations of FHA that allow for 100% down.  (Using Nehemiah or one of its sister programs can get you to this with FHA)
