Not all 100% Financing can be accomplished with no money out of pocket. There are some costs to buying a home not incurred from the mortgage, such as home owner's insurance and property taxes which may need to be paid a year in advance.

It is even possible for you to buy a home with zero money out of pocket. A popular way to do this is to have the home seller pay your closing costs for you. Most lenders allow the seller to contribute at least 3% of the purchase price toward your closing costs.

A common way to structure Zero Money Down Home Loans is the 80/20 Piggyback. The 80/20 is a combination of two mortgages, with the first mortgage financing 80% of the purchase and a second mortgage of the remaining 20%.

If you are buying a home with nothing down, your interest rate will be higher than if you have a down payment. Traditionally, 20% was a typical down payment. So for most lenders 20% or more down will get you the best rate for your situation. The lower your down payment drops below 20%, the higher your interest rate will be.

There are also 103% loan programs where the additional 3% of the purchase price can be used to pay for closing costs. If you don't have the money for closing costs and/or the seller will not agree to a "seller assist" this may be a great option for you.

It is important to realise that while it may be the only way a borrower can purchase a home, a zero down mortgage does carry a higher interest rate. Ultimately the borrowers goal should be to refinance when there is enough equity to achieve an 80% Loan to Value (LTV).

Some conforming zero down programs do require you to contribute at least $500 to the purchase. Your earnest money counts as money towards purchase.
