    Millions of suburban homes qualify for a $0-down payment mortgage (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Saving 10% or 20% of a home’s price for a down payment can take years, especially when the average house costs nearly $400,000. In this economy, when rent, utilities and child care are getting more expensive by the minute, not having to save up $80,000 is a blessing. That’s why some buyers looking beyond major city centers may qualify for a federal mortgage program that could be the answer to their prayers and requires no down payment at all.

Years of unsolicited calls, texts and official-looking mailers have made the product category almost synonymous with scams. But that doesn’t mean every extended warranty is a rip-off.
