Contrary to what you hear in the press, buying a home with little or no money down is possible. 

 Here"s how:

1.  FHA offers fixed rate mortgages with a 3.5% down payment.  This money CAN BE GIFTED!!  And, if you want to "repay" the gift, the government is offering a $7500 tax credit for homes closed by 6/30/09.

2.  The seller can pay up to 6% of the closing costs.  Verify you "Good Faith Estimate" of closing costs with your FHA lender.

If you feel secure in your job, have a credit score of over 580 and need to better place to live, consider owning your own home or condominium.  Take advantage of a market that favors you as a home buyer.  Low rates, favorable financing and pricing and a great selection to choose from.
